What a gorgeous treasure! Wouldn't it be fun to do some research and see if you could find who made it? It's beautiful!

That's a beautiful crazy quilt. It's too bad you can't document it as being made by a family member. I would think that it being in the attic of a family home that it probably was made by a family member.

It would be fun to find the genealogy link to SAB. I have 2 that were in my DH's family along with Daguerre type pictures of the quilt makers. They have been documented in NH.
I made a wall-hanging sized CQ this summer, hmmm I have it mostly done. ;-)

I'm so glad that treasure found a home with someone who truly appreciates it.

I would talk to a local Museum and donate it. That way they would preserve it and other people could enjoy the beauty of such a national treasure.

Beautiful. It looks like it's in great shape too. It also reminds me of that $70,000 quilt..... :)
