I have a quilt made by my GA Meta Roos. She made it for me when I graduated from HS. I recently found it at my mom's when we were cleaning after she passed away. She had saved it all these yrs. It is in great shape ( no tears ,only one small hole that looks to be a burn) . It is a Lone Star ,all hand pieced . It is beautiful. I am so happy that it survived. What would be the safest way to display it? I would really appreciate any advice on the treatment of Tante Meta's gift. TIA

Yes, keep it out of any direct sunlight to keep all colors from fading. Ask me how I know!
For displaying: I have thought of putting a nice quality wooden curtain rod high up on one wall in the living room, and draping one or two quilts over that. I'm thinking I could change them seasonally, or at least refold and rehang every few months.
