Your Goodwill quilt find is really nice. I'm sure once you reinforce the seams it'll be good as new.
Sorry for the loss of your DH. That's hard and hugs to you on this first birthday without him. You are right, I bet that quilt WAS sent to the Goodwill just for YOU! Happy birthday on Wednesday. Mine is Friday.
Thanks for sharing both the quilt and your darling kitty.
