This quilt,which we had appraised at a quilt show in Columbus, Ohio on Friday, was made by one of Beth's relatives in 1884 ...The official quote has not come back yet but two less impressive quilts from the 1920's together were assessed at $600-$800, so I'm guessing that this one will be worth at least $1,000. I'll post the true number as soon as we get it. During this trip we stayed overnight at a Comfort Inn in Akron,Ohio and were awakened at 3:00 AM by some guy knocking on the door. I asked him what he wanted and got some mumbled reply, so I loudly told him to get lost, after which he wanted to know if "Nora " was there. "This is room 209 isn't it?" I yelled again to get lost then dialed the front desk and angrily said that some guy was knocking on the door. The front desk just as angrily replied "Are You yelling at me?" and I said 'Yeah, I don't like to get awakened at 3 in the morning by some black guy knocking on my door'. When I called the manager yesterday of course he was apologetic and adjusted the bill a little, but needless to say my opinion of Comfort Inn has been permanently tarnished. We had been pressured by time to find a place and the on line reviews were ok, but any place that lets derelicts roam the halls all night is not policing their facility properly.

WOW 1884 that's amazing and a beautiful quilt. I have bags of old material from clothes gone by that I am hoping to do something like that "someday".
Are you going to hang it?
Glad you guys are staying away from Comfort Inn...please add Travelodge to that list. I swear there was blood on the walls in Vegas. (I had a cheapo client who sent us there! NEVER AGAIN!)
