Thread: Quilt Sold for $70,000

Amazing and almost unbelievable!!!!!

That is a very interesting quilt but it just looks like a mess to me. That is just my humble opinion so please don't get mad at me.

When I read your post, I looked at it again. Looks like ALL the stitches on it is hand embroidery. My initial thought was that it was the regular crazy quilting stitches and brocade patches but there's embroidery over top of and through the blocks/stitches. That's a lot of hand work! That's what took the 3000 hours...

WOW!! It's gorgeous!!!!

If you click on it you can see it closer up. It is covered in very intricate embroidery.

oooooooookay -- hmmm My ex-MIL did one similar.....gosh, she gave it away....wow.

I can't get it to load

? montana cant remember her first name --queen of crazy patch --these ladies do some great embellishment --it is way too busy for me to live with but i admire their artistry in a big way--would look fantastic on a big wall gallery type

Crazy quilts don't really do it for me, but good on the maker. I can't quite get my head around having $70,000 in 'spare' cash either, but if I did, this wouldn't be how I'd choose to spend it. Each to his/her own I guess.

Very nice, but way too busy for my taste.

I'm not crazy about crazy quilts either. If I were to sell a quilt I now know what to charge. Ha, Ha, Ha
