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

It's very nice.
Is it old?

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.

...Crazy Quilt Sells for $11,100 on eBay...

Did they put it together with Krazy Glue?

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.

Great quilt...how did they make it look like a little red X?

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.
