    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.

    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.

    Be careful of the green... . It might fade easily.
    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.
