I saw a baby quilt with a label on it in a Yuma antique store last year. I kick myself as I never bought it.

He said he inherited a dresser from his grandpa after he passed and it was inside one of the drawers in a plastic storage bag. I don't even think he took it out of the storage bag to look at it. :roll:

That quilt is absolutely gorgeous. The quilt police should definitely put people in jail who would discard such a beautiful treasure.
