My first thought? I doubt the appraiser was a 'certified quilt appraiser'.
Al and I went to a quilt show this past weekend and they had on display a large crazy quilt that was (my estimate) at least a 100 years old. It was obvious, from the fabrics and adornments that several people had worked on it. There were many types of fabric and most seams were embroidered with a multitude of stitches I've never seen before. And quite a few of the blocks had applique on them. We admired the applique but found it was the most striking thing about the quilt - there were flowers, there was something that looked like a hanging basket, there was a donkey and some hairy animal that we thought might be a beaver. Some of the blocks had beads and buttons sewn on.
