I really know nothing about quilts except that this is a hand stitched appliqué quilt. I’m guessing that it from the 40’s?</p><p>This quilt is unusual and so I am wondering what the value may be. Also, there are two (major?) areas of damage on the front and one on the back. I realize for some antiques this may not matter, but in the case of this quilt, I’m afraid it may matter. Two of the photos that I uploaded are of damage - one being an ink? spot, the other being a hole. This quilt is made up of square panels with appliqué and embroidery. The edges do look machine stitched. No matter what the value, I will love it the same. But, it will make the difference between selling it and keeping it. Quilt “throw?” measures 46” X 54”. There is hand quilting throughout the piece. Labor of love, I am sure. Thank you again!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]303676[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]303677[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]303678[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]303679[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]303680[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]303681[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
