Antique Quilts behind glass/ plexiglass
Does anyone have experience with creating a glass enclosure or cover for an older quilt that you'd like to look at but protect the delicate seams and fabrics? I am the proud new owner of a quilt made in the 1930's that fits this description. I don't want the quilt to have to be constantly tucked away in a cloth bag in a closet for safe-keeping. I would be happier looking at it and have others look at it when they visit my home.
The quilt is about 66" X 72". I'm sure that plexiglass comes in big enough pieces. Keeping the display out of direct sunlight would also be a factor.
Do you think quilt museums sell their fixtures occasionally?
