I was watching the show one time and a woman came on who had a quilt that either her great grandmother or
great, great grandmother had made. The quilt was lovely, but the most interesting item about the quilt is that
the woman who made it was a slave at the time she made it. It increased the value a great deal because there
are so few quilts left that were made by slaves. As with most quilts in that time period, they were made to be used
and they were used and washed and used and washed. In any event, the quilt was appraised at $30,000.
