Brenda J. Grampsas, a certified quilt appraiser from Florida, showed some of her quilts at the Quilt Show in Dade City in February 2019. One of them she showed had exquisite workmanship - but - to me, anyway - was dirty and in poor condition. She said someone offered her $1700 for it!
The bottom line is - what someone is willing to pay for it!
