Someone donated this quilt top to our prayer quilt group. It is all hand sewn and is 67 X 78. Most who have seen it say it is '30s fabrics but I have no idea. It is too large for our use & we hate to cut it & make 2 but we don't know what to do with it. A couple of people have asked what we would sell it for but we have no idea what it is worth...any suggestions? I'm posting 2 pics so you can see the entire quilt & see a closer view of the fabrics.[ATTACH=CONFIG]448570[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]448571[/ATTACH]

I would never cut that up! Its beautiful!! Someone put a lot of love in that to hand sew all those little squares. No clue what its worth, but I bet if you guys were to finish it, it'd fetch a pretty penny! Maybe someone sells on Etsy and can sell it in their store for you.

You should be able to locate a quilt appraiser in Kentucky. How far are you from Paducah? Your local LQS should also be able to help. Since you do charity work perhaps they would donate their services to your group. If it is an antique I would think your group would be better served to sell it and use the proceeds to get the right type of materials and supplies you need. It would be terrible to cut it, and it would completely devalue it. It is certainly beautiful.

Finish and raffle it off.

Definitely don't cut it! What is a prayer quilt?

I can imagine the work that's gone into making that. It's beautiful.

I agree with susiequilt - finish it off and raffle it to get more supplies for your group. Don't cut it because it is beautiful
