Nina, thanks for posting that image. It is a beautiful quilt. Years ago I went to a sale at an old, old, old estate. The ancestral owners were neighbors of the Roosevelts and they were also good quilting friends. I purchased a couple of raggedy crazy quilts that had so many patriotic bits sewn in to them. Today, I am kicking myself around the block for not keeping them. They were sold to help pay my son's college tuition -- and I am quite certain that I did not get nearly what they were worth. All I can say is good for the quilt artist who sold it for $70,000. I am delighted that she found someone who truly appreciates crazy quilts!
