I don't think there would be much difference if a Quilt Appraiser valued it. I think this type of quilt really falls more into the Folk Art category.

It was a really beautiful quilt and I was wondering the same thing as Weezy Rider, I only caught part of it while cleaning up the kitchen! I sure love it when I see things like quilts on Antiques Roadshow. Did anyone catch the watercolor at the end, insurance value $250,000!!!

If you look closer, there are several places where the blocks are coming apart. Also the quilt is not bound with continuous binding. Looks to me like a quilt as you go. Wonder if that was an innovation by the quilter to be able to quilt while she was at sea with her husband. Would like to see it up close and have a look at the back and the quilting.

All of the red looked to be in very good shape, it was the blue that had deteriorated. I shudder to think if anyone ever tried to wash that quilt, with all that red from that many years ago...you would have a pink quilt. I too wondered about those two bottom blocks and had it in my head that it was constructed that way, but that doesn't make much sense either. ???
