I love love love your quilt! I have a wool quilt I got at a flea market over 10 years ago. Always wanted to get it appraised, but no where close to do it. And I always forget to take it with me to shows.

if you visit the AMERICAN QUILTERS SOCIETY web site they have a list of certified quilt appraisers (they are the ones who certify quilt appraisers- you can look through the list find one in your area and give them a call-
most of the quilt shows have appraisers come in and you can set up an appointment (even if you do not have a quilt in the show).
it is well worth the money to have your quilts appraised- especially for insurance purposes- if your house were to burn down or some other disaster and you claimed quilts all your insurance is going to allow is what a blanket at the store would cost-unless you have an appraisal showing it is something more.
of course not all quilts need to be appraised- but the really special ones you make would be worth the time and cash- i do not know what this year's prices might be or if they vary from place to place- but it cost me $30 when i had my wool quilt appraised
