    $200,000. Quilt

    Thought you'd like to see what a $200,000. quilt looks like.

    So, contrary to what most husbands think, there can be value in taking a perfectly nice piece of fabric and cutting it up just to put it all back together again!

    The minute I saw it, I said Lake Michigan. Can't fool a Michigoose. Beautiful scene and different panoramic setting, but $200,000?

    There was one sold in Melbourne for about the same price - so people should not under-estimate the value of fibre art.

    She deserves the $200,000 prize! I would love to see this quilt in person - it sounds like it is loaded with wonderful details.
