One thing to remember is that a quilt is dated from it's most recent fabric. Check out Barbara Barrickman's book on dating quilts/fabrics (can't think of the name)--your library probably can help you. Also, local quilt shops and quilt shows sometimes will feature appraisers. They would be able to give you detailed info on each quilt. But before you do that have your Mom or other relatives WRITE down all the information you can gather.
