    So he brings it back to me. I open it up expecting to find a mess only to find what was clearly someones masterpiece. It looks to be all hand quilted and only has one tiny little stain. If there are quilt police, there should be a quilt jail for people who cast these things off. Gah!

    Oh my God somebody wanted to throw that away!!! Thank God you saved it.

    DN snatched it up and it's now living happily on her bed.
