First an appraisal and then get them insured! It make take a while for you to get them a proper home and in the meantime you need to get protection. Most homeowners policies do not have coverage for valuables and this is irreplaceable.

I'd love to know where you find a home for them! They are a piece of history that people forget about.

Latimer may be able to do an appraisal. I'll bet they have to do them to have their insurance cover the quilts there.

Good idea about Latimer. Regardless of what I do with the quilts, I need to see their museum. Sounds like a trip to the beach to me!

I emailed Latimer & they gave me this URL for help finding appraisers.
www.americanquilter.com/quilt_world/appraisers.php or www.quiltappraisers.org.
I would still make the trip to the beach, though! :-)
