I won a quilt this year at a Quilt show and also received a free appraisal. It was an applique quilt designed by one of the makers and machine stitched by another. A third did the long-arming which was very explicit.
All in all, the quilt was appraised at $1875.00. The woman who did the appraisal had certain guidelines as to what the quilt was worth; size, design, etc.
