What memories for me!! My Mom had these frames with the holes. She used a long nail to hold them together. She tacked strips of ticking to pin the quilt top on. She started quilting in the middle and moved it out as she quilted. She used binder twine to attach it to the ceiling. At night she rolled it up and slipped into the bed which it hung over. She looked up at the quilting and become a better quilter realizing her stitches were pretty long. I cannot being to guess how many quilts she made on those frames in her life time.
