Sheagatzi Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wanted to share a beautiful crazy quilt that my client had found in her father's closet - made in 1891. It was just so amazing to look at all of the detail in it! Here is a link to some photos of it: http://www.urbanquiltworks.com/2013/06/a-hidden-treasure-from-1891.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primitive1 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Beautiful quilt, so glad someone had the foresight to store it in a pillow case which probably contributed to it being in such good shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mswings Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 That is amazing! Someone sold a crazy quilt they had made for $75,000. I would bet that one would sell for that or more. Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage Keepsakes Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Oh how amazing!! What an absolute treasure to find in your fathers closet. (Seriously wish there was one of them in my dads closet) Thank you so much for sharing. It's very satisfying to know, that through the generations and as time passes, there is always someone that appreciates a piece of beautiful workmanship in a quilt and has the forethought to preserve it so as to pass it on.
