[QUOTE=cashs_mom;7798996]I think you're right, mamagrande. The value would be in the provenance of the quilt. If it was made by or for or used by someone of historic significance, it might be valuable. Some of it will depend on the condition of the quilt also. But you do need to get an appraisal to get any idea of value. However, even with an appraisal, it's basically worth what someone will give you for it.[/QUOTE I have had 2 quilts appraised and they were done by the AQS which is American Quilters Society they were not old quilts but judged on workmanship and the shows they had been in one was appraised for 900.00 dollars in my avatar the other for 1200.00 but it had been published in a magazine and in a quilt calendar and I do not remember what the cost was but it was done through our quilt guild
