Hi tinkerfeet...
I won't be doing anything to it.
The appraiser instructed me in how to make sure it was finished in order to increase the value...but I am a beginning quilter with a brain injury. The quilt needs to go to someone that can do it justice. I was told that muslin and vintage cotton threads can be found on ebay to complete this; but it is way out of my realm of thinking. I couldn't bear to ruin it.
I am toying with the idea of listing it on ebay...
I have no contacts in the quilt world to sell it off that way.
Still pondering...
I would hang onto this quilt top until you can get more information regarding it. The Civil War quilt patterns are actually what got me into quilting. I just love them! There is something about that Civil War that just draws me in. You may have a piece there that is really worth some money! But if you really wanted to get rid of it my birthday is April 1st! Hint Hint. :lol:
Yes, the piece has value. Of that I have no doubt. I just get this weird feeling in my body when I touch certain things when I am garage saleing. When ever I get that feeling I buy what ever it is. So far has paid off.
I actually want to sell this as I have no use for it so if you know anyone that is interested let me know. Someone should have this out to enjoy it and finish it.
