Wonder who made this sweet quilt?
#72
i again feel i need to weigh in- i have made some pretty wonderful quilts to donate to goodwill, challenge mountain, the women's resource center- hoping someone who does not have alot of funds will find them & want to take them home & have something special-
just because it was found in a thrift store does not mean it was (thrown away) , neglected, un-appreciated,
i know i am not the only quilter out there who donates beautiful quilts to thrift stores on a fairly regular basis...i really never thought doing so would (induce) such negative opinions toward whom ever donated a (rescued) treasure. I donate them hoping the person who finds & buys it simply can not afford to shop elsewhere- but certainly deserves beautiful quality items to provide their families/babies/kids with.

I had to edit this so you all would understand I won't be having the baby for the quilt!!

Good for you !!! I too am just blown away by such beautiful things like this that are discarded. The stitching is so tiny and perfect and the pattern is precious. The person that made it was truly talented and it is so sad that it was not kept as a family heirloom. But I am thrilled for you to rescue it - ENJOY.
