If you, or whoever gets it after you, finds that they don't have a place to display it, they should lend it to a museum, and/or share it with 4th or 5th graders studying American history. There are contracts you can sign with museums that say things like "no matter how long you keep this quilt you acknowledge it belongs to ...... or to her children, 1, 2, or 3 and they can ask for it back and you will give it." I say this because the concept of this quilt is one that runs through almost every family that has been in this country for over a hundred years, and we only have stories about these "goodbye" quilts (if we are lucky). This quilt is a true national treasure, and while you may not want to give it up you could "share" it by lending it to a museum. Think of all the people it would thrill, like it is thrilling us QBers!
