My plan was to display it on a guest room bed, or possibly hang it. The blocks are sturdy, with fine hand stitching, no loose seams and the weave is tight. The whole collection has a musty odor, and I've been soaking the blocks in Biz, per the advice of an expert in antique textiles. They are coming out looking absolutely great, with snowy white muslin and brightened color on the prints. To see the soaking water after adding the fabrics is amazing...and kind of alarming. I'm glad I was forewarned that the water would take on a "muddy" appearance, or I would have panicked!
