Vintage price??
I am posting a picture of a piece of a vintage quilt that was brought to our church relief quilt making group. We think it was a regular bed size quilt at one time, but cut down as a lap robe or something similar. It was bound in a different fabric on one side and just zigzagged shut on the end. It is showing some wear but the colors are still bright. We cannot use it for our group, but would like to see if we can sell it to help buy supplies that we need.
I know that someone on here--one of the other Judys??--collects vintage quilts and perhaps could help put a price on it. We're not looking for a lot, just to get it somewhere it might be appreciated.
Thank you to whomever can give some assistance!!

I will be candid and say that just because a quilt (or remnant of a quilt) is handmade and old it does not mean it has any value to a collector.
I have a piece similar in condition and size to what you have shown us here and the only reason I have it as a "collectible" is because it was made by my husband's great-great grandmother and thus it has sentimental value. We took her old battered quilt and cut it into pieces for the "kids" who were interested in having a remnant of Rachel's work.
