So glad you quilted this for your MIL. You created a memory! Write the story of the quilt down and ask your MIL to keep it near the quilt so the story isn't lost.

You are right about the story. Every quilt deserves a label.

Beautiful quilt. Would love to know the story behind the person who threw it away and why.

I'm apalled at what people will throw out, but your mother now has a gorgeous treasure - you did a great job. I'm not a big fan of the 30's, feedsack type fabrics, but these are beautiful, think I'll have to rethink my thinking. Ya think???

Beautiful. What a great find. I live across from a school. Maybe I need to go dumpster diving..
A treasure indeed.
