    That certainly is a challenge for you to deal with. It is so hard for people to pay what a quilt is really worth! Keep us posted on this interesting thread. Think of it--25 quilts!!

    I think you should "hold your horses". Just because they are hand pieced and hand quilted doesn't mean they are anywhere near museum quality or even salable. Someone who knows a little about quilts should look at them; perhaps a quilt shop owner or a long armer. Pictures are not good enough. They need to be looked at in person by someone who is familiar with quilts.
    Good luck with your chanllenge!

    Interesting thread. We have old quilts made by family members that are hand stitched and hand quilted. BUT none would be museum quality. We just keep them for the memories and some of them we use. It's interesting that there would be 25 of them that were just put away...wonder why they were being "saved" ?
    Please do let us know how this goes. :-)

    Lots of household goods are "saved" for that rainy day....china, silver sets, quilts etc. Nothing new here.

    REVISED: I doubt that these quilts are truly "antique" but I will know more once I see them.

    Whenever I have something to sell, my first thoughts are to go to E-Bay and choose that category and see what is listed and compare. More important is to look at what has SOLD in that category. Just a thought.

    Actually, I did read all the posts and felt most people thought they were looking at something really special. You won't know until you see them in person, and I am glad you are on top of this. Best of luck to you.
