Lucky you, great find!.
Love the way the quilter fastened the layers together with an embroidery stitch.

Great find so good of you to save it. Looks like a mouse chewed it.

Our Goodwill only has clothes and junky stuff. The nice things we have taken must go to another part of the country.

Pretty. Looks like it is made with Double Knit material. My mother made some like that.

I got to looking real close at how this quilt was made. They took 2 squares right sides together, sew a stitch from corner to corner, open it up and sew four of these together to make a block, then she did an embroidery stitch around the block. There is no batting. It is made with double knit material. Very heavy. That is so cool. I've never seen one like it.
