When Quilts Come Home from Humble Quilts

I had this adorable mostly madder partial quilt top in my Etsy store and sold it recently to Betsy Chutchian. Here is her message to me after the top arrived including the photo below.

Top arrived! Thank you Lori. Do you remember where you bought the top? I have a long row of the very same quilt. I saw your section and had to have it.

It is in my Etsy shop!
