Please think this through before taking action. There are horror stories about auctions -- beautiful bed size quilts that only brought in
Please think this through before taking any action. There have been some beautiful, valuable quilts that have sold at auction for $20 or $30. People who are not quilters have no idea of what it takes in money and hours to create a quilt. Could you consider a raffle? Lots of work for you ladies -- taking it places (craft shows, libraries, church activities, etc) and sell raffle tickets. Or have it appraised and see if appraiser knows what to do with it. You have a quite valuable quilt so take your time and ask lots of questions to knowledgable sources before making a decision.
