Hawaiian-style quilt - Collecting Tiki

I have two Hawaiian quilts that my grandma made. They are both just stored away for fear of ruining them. My grandma got really pissed when my mom and dad wore their quilt she made for them out to a threadbare mess. I always just thought of it as a bedspread when growing up, but now I know the amount of time and artistry that goes into making them. I think I would always keep one of them just for the cultural family significance and because it was made by my grandma. Now, if I could get anywhere near $4,200 for the other, I would sell that in a heartbeat, all nostalgia aside(this isn't a solicitation for offers, by the way). I'll try to post pics someday.
