Hello and welcome from an Iowa Girl!
I, too, am a GD of Swedish immigrants. As a child when they started talking in Swedish I knew they were planning something special for us! My mother did not speak English when she started kindergarten; learned the language and taught the rest of the family how to speak.
Have a great time searching for quilts here in USA. I just Googled "USA quilt museums" and came up with some excellent sites for you to investigate. This one has a lot of info.

Greetings from Northern California. I'd suggest that you make a general plan of your travels. Then you can check the internet for quilt stores in each area and see which ones are worthy of a visit. Better check with your airlines about weight restrictions on the luggage. You will want to leave lots of space for fabrics.
