    Depending on their size, place them in the pocketed plastic holders to protect them. What a neat treasure.

    I was really surprised that they hadn't turned yellow by now.

    My sewing room is part of my livingroom and they are about the size of a poster so there is no where to hang them. Some day I would be able to hang them.

    Why not take them to a copy store and make several copies of them and put the originals in a scrap book with acid free paper? I like to make copies of my quilt patterns because I'm always writing bits of info on them, but don't want to mark up the original one. At a later time, when children are grown and gone then you could frame your DGM's patterns!

    I would make a copy of them,, and then laminate the originals, (to prevent any damage to the pape in coming years) and maybe frame them,, those will be worth a bit. Truly a treasure!!! :-D
