this is such a cool family quilt from the 1800's sad they are selling it.

You are right beautiful and only $400 but maybe they really need the money.
|
Times are hard and the quilt won't pay the bills or buy groceries, maybe they have come upon hard times. So sad to see them have to sell it. It would be nice if someone in their family could stop up and buy it.
|
It is a lovely family quilt.
|
Beautiful quilt!
|
I don't understand people selling beautiful old quilts. Rather than sell it they could give it to a museum that would love to have it. Selling it for $400.00 is sad after the family has kept it so many years.
|
I vote for the museum too or I'd probably search the internet until I found another descendant who would cherish it.

It does not look like a quilt to me, but a handwoven bedspread.
The Appalachin (SP?) people still do these; you can buy them by the roadsides in the mountains of NC. |

Looks more like what is known as a coverlet. Many times they are dated & might have a name and place {city &/or state} Just saw a beautiful one down near Lancaster, PA & it was dated 100 years before the year of my birth {will not tell!}but it was $900.00+ dollars. Oh well, maybe next time !!
