			<description><![CDATA[I appreciate that so many see the value of this piece in quilting history. We thank Quilts Inc and Christopher Wilson-Tate for giving us a chance to see the quilt. I am also glad that since the museum turned it down, someone who cares deeply for it has purchased it. Being in the hands of an established quilt collector allows the quilt to be cared for properly and seen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello I am Christopher Wilson-Tate who had the Special Exhibit of Antique Quilts of the British Isles at Houston this year, the 50 quilts in the exhibit being a small part of my private collection of 962 Quilts. This quilt is indeed a masterpiece, completed in the 1840’s and also Exhibited at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. It is disappointing to see some of the comments here referring to the owners wishing to sell and being greedy! I purchased the quilt recently for $38,000. The quilt had been offered to the V & A Museum for a 1/3 of that, they declined. So I helped an elderly lady in need realise a much truer figure of what the quilt is worth and helped a not so good situation for her and her husband. The quilt had only ever been displayed once in 20 years by the museum. Please be careful of your commentary when doing so and knowing nothing of the actual situation. Thank you]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Saw it at the International Quilt Festival in Houston. It is unbelievably beautiful. The little hexies are 1/4"!!! It is probably a long double bed size quilt. The design on that quilt is wonderful, many hexie quilts are scrap or simple designs, this quilt was planned and created by a master quilt designer in the 1840s! The pictures don't do it justice! The stitches that look large were actually not noticeable in person. Remember, 1/4" hexies!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was one of the people stopped in my tracks by this quilt. Thanks for the great close-ups, better than I could see at the time. I didn't see the back at the show, so am glad to see it here. Am I correct that it was not quilted or tied to batting and a back? It was a truly amazing work of dedication, design, detail and artistic beauty..]]></description>
