Were you by any chance at Dr. Thomas's office? He's a gastroenterologist.

Lovely quilt beautifully displayed. Please let the personnel of that doctor's office know your pleasure in seeing it. I am sure they would like that and maybe put up some others.

One could also hope the one who hung it knows what too much light can do over time. I hope it is inside and not facing a window.

our church does emergency quilts and had some donated PP blocks. As I looked them over I suggested that the materials were pretty fragile for a donated quilt. Then I looked at the papers still on the backs, they were from a 1932 newspaper! we finished putting the top together and donated it to our local history museum for all to enjoy. It is hung in a frame folded so both sides can be seen.
