Saw several SunBonnet Sues there - way pricey as were the double wedding rings. One of the DWR was just a top for $300 but beautifully made with gorgeous vintage fabric. Crazy quilt wall hanging priced outrageously so didn't even look at the bigger crazy quilt. Those old quilts are simply beautiful and I do admire the workmanship that went into them. Just cannot afford the prices but I keep hoping to come across one terrifically priced that speaks to my soul.
I bought a nice one a few weeks ago for $12.50. Keep looking!
People (i.e., dealers) think they are worth more if they are hand made. The truth is, I'd much rather have one machine pieced--they hold up longer and in general, the workmanship is better.
I will now go and wait for the Quilt Police to show up at my door.
