that is definitely worth having appraised. It certainly looks like patterns once offered in the newspapers and probably hand sewn. You have had this since 1988!!!according to your post....why so long without finishing or having it finished? Just curious...

Gorgeous top. The reference to the Kansas City Star paper sounds right to me. The colors fit the 30s, it seems. Must be a pretty old top.

Lovely quilt top -- finish and you will enjoy it a long time.
Or don't finish and hang it up as a top only. You'll still enjoy it.
Thanks for sharing.

Eleanor's pattern (pub. 1999) is based on the original Nancy Page Quilt Club patterns, very popular back in the 1920's-30's ... this vintage/antique top was made from the original NP pattern of that era :)
