My thought exactly.

Exactly how I feel too!

Nice find, love the quilt.

How nice for it to have a home that appreciates it.

I think there must be too many quilters where I live because I keep looking for all these GoodWill finds that I see on this board and so far nothing! Great find for you though and glad it was rescued by someone who will appreciate it.

Very pretty.

Great find. Love the design

EvelynJ 04-07-2012 06:05 PM

That is adorable. I need to go to your Goodwill!

Iraxy 04-07-2012 06:43 PM

So happy you saved this quilt. I think home made quilts are so much more beautiful than store purchased.

delideb64 04-07-2012 07:38 PM

What a nice find.

sewbeadit 04-07-2012 10:55 PM

Very cute, ever wonder how they find themselves at Goodwill and those places? Apparently they aren't loved like we love them. Thanks for giving it a home. I always buy anything handmade like that if it is reasonable, I hate to see someones work discounted and abused.

As we are getting ready to move, I've been taking fabric, orphan blocks, etc. over to the local thrift store. I'm hoping that someone will grab them up and give them a nice home......great find!

tedytrser 04-08-2012 04:47 AM

To everyone thanks for the response. I can tell it is homemade and alot of love went into it because it is hand sewn on the back and in areas you can see the tiny knots where she/he stopped. Just Me@ believe me if I was at the thrift store you are taking your goodies to I would snatch them up in a heart beat.

sewnsewer2 04-08-2012 06:02 AM

Oh I like it! Good save!

rondahdgt 04-08-2012 07:41 AM

Nice Find!!!!!

n2scraplvr 04-08-2012 09:33 AM

Absolutely a great find! Thank you for rescuing this one! Love it! :)

p.s. If any of you have orphan blocks or quilt tops you no longer want, please offer them in the "Offers" section on the board! Someone would surely love to have them and pay the postage to get them! I don't have a need, but there are plenty of people on here who would love them!

Grace MooreLinker 04-08-2012 10:03 AM

good save, is it a crib size?

Highmtn 04-08-2012 12:00 PM

The anonymous quilter who made that THANKS YOU from the bottom of his/her HEART! Nice save!

Becca Bear 04-08-2012 01:03 PM

I have found one small quilt that I use as a table topper, one partially finished afghan that I managed to match thread and finish, and two beautiful red & white afghans in ripple stitch that had never been used at our local thrift store. I almost cry every time I see this. You'd think the family would give these threasures to a friend or keep them.

ItsJustMe 04-12-2012 08:50 AM

How nice that you saved this quilt. It is really lovely.

JJean 04-12-2012 09:08 AM

Wow! What a gorgeous little quilt! It was meant for you!

Jammin' Jane 04-19-2012 08:13 AM

You are a savior! It's a beautiful quilt! :)

BrendaK 04-19-2012 08:16 AM

Congratulations on your find. Pretty quit I would love to own something like this. BrendaK
