Go to Quiltindex.org and see if they have someone in your area who is doing the documentation project for Michigan State University. They have people in the Pittsburgh area who were able to tell me that the quilt I got at the 3 Rivers Quilt show for 10$ was in fact a crazy quilt made in the 1930s-Their appraiser can tell you what fabrics and how old for a small donation(usually 5$) Great find!!!
