You're much better off finding an appraiser. You'd be surprised at the appraised value of quilts. A friend recently insured hers for $1,000 for shipping to a show and then had it appraised at the show...the appraised value was over $8,000.
Does the show intend to insure exhibitor's work while there? That's very rare indeed. Your insurance agent can find an appraiser for you and it doesn't cost all that much to have it done. Just a suggestion.
Appraised value for work by an 'unknown, unsold' quilter is replacement value only, btw....materials and labor. No 'artistic' value.
