I was just wondering what if anything will you do with it? I think I would be afraid to quilt it are finish it in any way. No matter what you do it was a great find.

I would have pegged those fabrics as from the 1800s myself. But I wonder at it only being worth $300. The value of old quilts must be going down these days.
