Watched Antique Road Show today and a gentleman had a vintage quilt.
The expert says it was made around 1850 and called the Baltimore blocks .A few women worked on it together so each block had been stitched a little differently. Now this is what surprised me....It's value was $ 5000-$7000 dollars.Wow!

But... if it had NOT been washed it was worth between $8000-12,000!! It had puckering from being washed.

The expert told him to insure it!!
