Any of these appraisers would serve you well. http://www.quiltappraisers.org/findAppraiser.html Also check out their home page and their 'fact' page for lots of good info on appraisals.

While you are waiting for Spring, put it in one of those tote bags made by the freezer bag company. I think it is Zip Loc. In with the quilt put a few sheets of softner that you would use in the dryer with your laundry. They say that the sheets will take odors out of sneakers overnight so it should work on the quilt. I doubt there is anything in the dryer sheet that could possibly harm the quilt but you might want to read the ingredients on the box first.

This is an excellent idea.
I have been told by a couple of people to wash the quilt in a buttermilk/water sol.------1 qt buttermilk to a washer tub of water. I am afraid to wash the quilt, but has anyone heard of this. The Bag Lady
