    You are 100% right...reminds me of a black hole. Getting sucked into the vortex!

    Beautiful, but it's certainly WAY out of my price range!

    I am no expert in the field just my thoughts. if they are worth a dime. lol
    I'm inclined to agree with you and 'CKCOWL' This certainly doesn't give the appearance of being very old. The colors are way off for that time period and the quilt looks like it is 'hot off the press! I also would want to see some documentation before I would even consider spending that kind of money on an 'antique'.

    That is a spectacular quilt and probably worth the $7200. I just can't afford it.

    A beautiful quilt looks like lots of work went into it.

    pretty, but makes me dizzy
    fabric doesn't exactly look like c1840, but maybe
    they are lucky enough to have some proof of that...

    Thank you for all your feedback.
    I doubt the date also and the quilt didnt sell. If they put it in again I will ask about the orgine.
