When I helped Mom go through all the stuff at her house (technically, double-wide mobile home) there were lots of linens she wanted to get rid of too. I lost count of the doilies – some in plastic but some looked old – and matching towel sets, sheets sized for beds she no longer had, etc. Most of these came with the house when they bought it. Hidden among all this cloth was a very pretty quilt in a bag, so I decided I would keep it.

It’s value to me is that it goes with my chocolate sheets perfectly and is lighter than my comforter so perfect for summer nights. I really like it.

So I was watching one of those innumerable auction shows and there was a quilt worth a bit of money. If this quilt ends up being worth a low amount, then I value it as a usable piece of linen. If it’s worth is higher it then becomes a piece of art and I can’t really keep using it as a bed cover, right?

So, does anyone know anything about quilts? This one is definitely hand-sewn and probably a twin size but it works fine on my double bed.
