the quilt on my bed was purchased at a catalog store before my hobby began, about 15-20 years ago. i believe it was in the neighborhood of $25. it was hand-made out of the country, shall we say. it's a feathered star pattern. the fabrics were not good and it has two small tears [my fault, but may not have happened with better fabric]. i washed it yesterday and noticed that the edges are somewhat worn. so it's never going to be an antique, but i feel i've gotten my money's worth. i don't think i could ever duplicate that quilt.
