I love quilts (and I love to make them), however, that seems a little much!

My wife has taken over an entire room with quilt making. She has spent the week chatting with other quilters online over whether this is authentic.

It doesn't look particularly OLD, which I'm assuming is what made the price soar.
The "Cameo" inserts are an interesting touch, and make me question how old it really is. I don't recall ever seeing a crazy quilt with insets, before.

Don't look at me. We didn't buy it. I think the seller is an antique dealer, however.

It's hard to tell from a picture. If it's old and in good condition, a museum probably bought it.

My mother has a crazy quilt in her closet -- I think my great grandmother made it.
I think the paintings on the different panels made this one unique enough to fetch that much $$.

A woman I know here in Huntsville made a quilt for her daughter whose son had joined the Military.
She went through her pictures and had photos from baby to in uniform turned into fabric.
She used these to set the pattern for the quilt.
This should be a keepsake.

It sure looks *clean* for a quilt made in 1884. The whites that I can see (most of the pix are red x's now) are bright white - that doesn't seem feasible to me. I would think they would've yellowed by now, at least a little bit.
I do like the three frames I could see.
