I found this awesome quilt at a yard sale today for 15.00, it's really pretty. Someone made it for her and not the right colors.

isnt that sad, someone took all that time and then its not liked or enjoyed, just because of colors , they should have realized all the work and loved it. Great Find!!!

Nice

Oh I agree, I thing it's beautiful, all hand tied.

oh my goodness! great find for you but so sad somebody put that much time into it just for her and because it was the wrong colors, she sells it. She could have always used it as a picnic blanket or something.. I'm glad it is with you now since you will appreciate it more.

very nice find

Lucky for you ... it is lovely.

And such a ♥break for the maker.

Wouldn't you just love to be able to find that person and give it back to her?

Oh my goodness ...... just thought about this ...... wouldn't it be amazing if that person were to be posting here on the Board and could say, I made that!!!!!!!!! :)

Nice find!

That would be cool!! Funny how hand made items are not wanted by so many, they rather have store brought. I just love hand made items.

Good to know the quilt now has a loving new home where it will be appreciated.

$15.00...great find for you. The seller sure didn't think much of the gift, that breaks my heart, so much work for an ungrateful person.

Nice find!!

If it had been me, I would have decorated to match the quilt!

How could you not love it. It is beautiful.

what's not to like about these colors? don't people know all quilts don't have to be on a bed? folded on a shelf or rack & it'll sparkle up any room ~ enjoy!

I agree, any quilt is stunning!!!!

Great find!

Pretty comforter! Their loss your gain.

Is she crazy?? A quilt doesn't have to match anything. It is a labor of love. I know she will regret this years down the road.

But, her loss is your gain. Right?

It is sad that she didn't take her friends gift to heart. Glad it has a loving home now tho. It is a very nice quilt.

The quilt found a loving home and that is what is important. :thumbup:

Great find! pretty colors too.

what a great find

How could it not be the wrong colors? They are all in there! Beautiful, glad you rescued it!

What a great find. Beautiful quilt her loss is your gain.

Glad u s
Adopted it!!

Thanks everyone, I just love it.

How COLD is that to get rid of the quilt because of the colors. That person probably has no idea the labor involved in making a quilt and the wonderful goodness of the givers heart.

But with the said, luck for you!

That's a great quilt! No accounting for taste. But it is in the right hands now!

That is a beautiful quilt. It didn't have to go on a bed. It could have been a tv quilt, a picnic quilt....ahhh they just don't get the work or love involved in a gift like that.

Glad it found a good home where it will be appreciated.

WO!!! What a find. A true treasure. What is trash to some its treasure to others...They just do get it!!!!!

:thumbup: :thumbup: ;) ;)

Great find for you but sad that something made for the seller didn't mean anything.

I agree. It's a shame she didn't appreciate it for all the work and love that went into it. I would also have used it for a picnic blanket or under the bedspread or other quilt for warmth. But glad it found a good home.

Lucky you!!

That reason has never made sense to me...are they going to keep their present color scheme for the rest of their lives? KEEP the quilt, those colors may be just what you want in the future.

The intended recipient may not have liked it but at least it has a good home now!

Great find, love the colors in this one.

Reminds me when I first started quilting. A lady at the campground had worked for months on a baby guilt for the 1st great grandchild. When baby was born, she sent it off. About 3 months later she made the trip to visit the baby. Laying on the floor on the baby quilt was the family dog. She about had a heart attack. The mother said she had received so many blankets, she thought the dog would like this one. Another lady made her daughter a beautiful quilt, worked months on it and it cost a fortune. Her daughter needed to give a gift at a wedding so she took this beautiful quilt her mother had made for her and gave it away. That's how you find quilts at yard sales or at Goodwill. Which I have bought many times.

Nice find!..."right colors"?...looks like perfect colors to me!
