*The quilt or hanging you just made

*The quilt you purchased at a yard sale or auction for a low price

*The quilt Grandma or Great Grandma made

*The old quilt in the attic that has holes, but still has good sections, too, with intricate hand quilting

*The quilt that a child in the family made

Some quilts have monetary value while others are nostalgic.  Then you have some that include both.

You may want to have your quilt(s) appraised by someone who’s an expert if you think they have monetary value.  For insurance purposes, too, this is a good idea.

Nostalgic Value

Some quilts have mainly nostalgic value, but to the owners, they are very valuable.  For instance, the quilt I made with my grandmother for my bed is well worn.  Even though it includes many memories. it doesn’t have monetary value.  However, it’s of value to me.

What about you?  Take a look at your quilted items.  What is the value of your quilt(s)?
