there are some pretty expensive quilts out there- if i had the $$ to blow i would look into that one- it is so beautiful- but i would want some documentation---the fabrics just don't seem like 1840's fabrics - which tended to be darker---turkey reds, indigo's- rust's...
but that could just be the period fabrics in the U.S. maybe other parts of the world had different fabrics back then with lighter colors.
