You should NOT sell this and also should find out if it has a family history. HOWEVER, if you do decide to sell later on, please PM me.

WOW, beautiful quilt!

Get an appraisal on it and then insure it. You have a treasure there. If its a family piece, please save it to pass on to future generations.

Has small stain...where can I get values on quilts in case I would sell this one? Best keep it in the dark only for that reason, for now! Goiogle : Quilt Appraisels - and pick out one nearest where you live. They ask you pay a fee for this service. Yes, put a label on the back. Use a piece of muslin and write everything you can think of with an indellible pigma pen on it, and sign it, and then applique it on. |

Please do not sell that beauty! For a quilt that old, it is in wonderful condition! Do have it appraised! You might be surprised. Thanks for sharing this with us!

It's great that you have a beauty that is so old. I bet you won't have a hard time finding a buyer once you have it appraised.
|
I could never sell it, it is so very beautiful.
