HI, I have several quilts that don't cover but use a heavy textured cream linen cover underneath them that reaches to the floor. This means that the quilts on top are sort of 'displayed' if you see what I mean.As I get older the quilts I make are smaller and this way they can still be shown depending on the season.When able , given my inability to post pictures, I will show you how I display them.Just make sure that you show how you love the gift,as I'm sure you will.God Bless,Letty.
