I think I understand your statement and I personally love to take my completed quilts out for a ride in mountains or country side and take pictures of them in interesting places. Below is a picture the quilt I made for our 46th wedding anniversary the Carpenter's Wheel. The Arkansas Crossroads was going to be a quilt just for me, then the floods in Colorado last September destroyed our friends home so it was meant to be for them.

The location for the photos was "The Old Stone Church" built in the late 1800's and never occupied as the local predominant religion at the time didn't like another faith coming to town. It is quite often used as a backdrop for bridal pictures...and I'm sure there is worry about a wedding dress being damaged too :0)

I've never had a quilt harmed by a brief draping, laying or hanging in an interesting place, (to me) of course I'm careful when placing them.

So for me, and I need to say I AM old :0) finding unique backdrops to showcase my quilts is indeed one of things my husband and I enjoy so much. I must also say, that none of my quilts are quilt show bound nor will any ever be in any competition, they are made for friends and family and my quilting is a my pleasure as I learn more and more.
