<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 96903, member: 36"]The one with the names looks like an album quilt or autograph quilt or memory quilt; they have a lot of names. They're usually done as mentioned as a fundraiser or as a big gift for someone. The other was a royal pain in the neck to make. I have a friend who does paper piecing, but that's too old; it's probably straight up hear-tearer patchwork or an applique. They'd both have an audience, but I've never had a lot of luck getting huge money out of quilts. You'll double up easily on them, but how much more...dunno. I'd find a quilting group either locally or on line and see if anyone can name that pattern. It'll sell for more if you know what the design is called. Damaged quilts sell to crafters who take them apart or cut them up, so even with frayed edges odds are someone's going to want that. I quilt myself, but most of what I do is from patterns in my head instead of a book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
