Leslee, not always! See the message I sent to Penelope. I have a friend that she bought an old quilt in really a bad condition; her thought was to cut it and make a doll quilt for an antique doll bed she has. She had various old quilts and decided to have those appraised. It was the most valuable one in her collection. It was worth & 1200.00! As a result, the little bed has a reproduction that she made and gave it the old look by tea dying it...
