Gorgeous quilt. Re: appraisals.........I recently had a friend who had a queen sized new batik quilt appraised. It was well done, visually appealing and machine quilted with an edge-to-edge. It was a pieced star pattern, can't tell you the name of the block as I didn't see it that long, but the appraisal was $2600/replacement value. It has been repeated on this board frequently, but we quilters need to value our work more than we do!!! So glad this beauty was rescued by someone who recognized the skill and work that this dear lady did and will treasure it beyond her lifetime!
