This quilt was made by Melissa Gardner in 1881. We know this because she embroidered a label on the back of the quilt. The opening bid is $4,995. This looks like a museum quality quilt: classic color combination, fabrics still nice and bright, extensive quilting, expert workmanship. Wow!Wouldn't Melissa be astonished to see her quilt selling for this price!
Indeed she surely would! That is a wonderful quilt. Such workmanship!
