Found out my grandma's old quilt is actually worth something

I was helping my mom clean out her attic last weekend in Portland and found this old quilt my great grandma made in the 1940s. My mom was gonna toss it but I took it to a local antique shop just for fun. The lady there told me it's a rare pattern called 'double wedding ring' from that time and it could go for like $400 at auction. I almost fell over... I've been using it as a picnic blanket for years. Now I'm scared to even fold it wrong. Has anyone else found something super valuable in your cozy stuff by accident?

That "I've been using it as a picnic blanket" is the most painful sentence I've read all week. Congrats on your 400 dollar potato salad stain.

Makes you wonder how many expensive things people treat like cheap junk without even realizing it.
