It is gorgouse and I would do a raffle on it. I'll by a ticket. I think it's worth a lot and you can make more than $500.00 with a raffle. Let us know what your mom decides to do. I've seen them put up quilts for raffle in these stores before and they make a lot of money on them. To bad you don't know the history of the quilt. Is there a lable on it? Cookie
