if you feel it is in good shape= and could be valuable-contact a quilt appraiser and have it appraised. the American Quilter's Society certifies appraisers- and have a list of (trained) ones on their website by location-
of check with a local guild. and see if there is anyone in your area.

That is what I think, too, like Valleyquiltermo.

Is there a LQS near you that could link you up with an appraiser? See if there is a quilt show coming near you that is offering appraisals.

I think I found a place to take it. I just have to get there before they close after work.
Thank for all of your input.

It looks like a fairly recent top as the fans seem to have been satin stitched by machine, based on what I can tell from the picture. It if is fairly recently made, it may not be of much monetary value. Good luck on your search.
