In giving quilts to Goodwill or a second hand store- at least they did not throw them in the trash and they know that someone will buy them and use them, and love them. It gives me such a sad feeling to think one of my quilts may end up in the Goodwill Store or a yardsale some day. I had better start working on my will!

A friend of our family made beautiful quilt tops but never could afford batting so they remained "just tops". At her funeral services these beautiful quilt tops were all on display. Never completed or not, her family will always treasure her work. I vote all quilts be saved!

Maybe I'll even print up a little adoption certificate to go with each quilt. I think that would be cute. :D
