A few years ago my sister found an afghan at the Goodwiil that someone gave away. It was tagged to a boy from grandma. She went home & cried, to think that the love that went in it, to just be thrown away. I have everything my grandmother ever gave me & cherish them.

I would say you hit the jack pot..............
I too love thrift stores but have never found anything as great as your find. Keep looking........ BOL

I haven't read the entire thread, so someone else may have already suggested this. You could use prepared fabric sheets (JoAnn's has them) and SCAN & PRINT the fabric that needs repairing with your printer. Sue Hausman talked about this at a class she gave in Tucson recently, and I thought it was a neat idea for repairing quilts - or for finishing quilts when you run out of fabric and just need a LITTLE bit more.

It's hard to believe a pretty quilt like that would be given away...but better for it to go to someone who can really appreciate all the work that went into it...like you!! Great find!!

Man was that luck....someones loss is your gain....how wonderful that it is a signed quilt as welll......See ladies we should sign our quilts.....or at least date them....as Martha Stewart would say ..."That is a Good thing".....:-)
