    He should keep it. I know $$ sounds good now, but it's a shame to sell something that's been in his family for so long.

    This lady spoke at a quilt guild meeting I attended and has a fabulous collection of antique quilts- she may be interested.
    from her website:
    "Quilt Dating Services
    Brian and Donna have participated in many local and regional quilt documentation projects and spend much of their free time studying and researching antique textiles. Additionally, Donna is an active member of an Antique Quilt Study Group. The goal of the group is to study antique quilts and textiles to further the knowledge and understanding of all aspects of historical quilt making. "
    Thank you.....I try her website.
