- - 1860's Quilt Made Out Of Confederate Money (https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/1860s-quilt-made-out-confederate-money-t69358.html)

I thought that this was an interesting and unique quilt, and that you may enjoy reading a little of the history behind it too. It proves that quilters have/will use anything to make a quilt :D

It amazing that it has survived this long, not to mention how well it has been preserved. I wish that they would exhibit it locally one more time before it is sent to GA.

I also found the quilt mentioned in a rock and mineral forum, where one of the family members has posted private pictures of it, as well as a little more information.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.

That is amazing. I wonder if they ever used it. :?

That is really interesting.

Wow! That is too cool!!!

Wow!! So amazing that it has survived in such wonderful condition.

That is really something to see!

I am going to try and find out if they have ever used this :D:D:D AND to see if they are going to show it before it leaves to GA
