    I have to agree with the majority here. Home decorating is a very personal thing. Country, modern, eclectic, it's all a matter of ones taste. I admire most styles, but feel most comfortable with my own homey stamp on my nest. You can bet there are quilts scattered all around. Do what looks good to you and enjoy it.

    Never stop displaying what you love so much. I haven't had anyone complain yet about the quilts I have on display. My true love for quilts started when I met a woman who done a lot of quilts and displayed them everywhere and in every room. She done a lot of thread art too. I became friends with this woman and have to say I still just stare at her walls in wonderment over the quilts. May not be for everyone but we shouldn't do just things for somome elses enjoyment, we need to fill our hearts with what we love too. Before my DH passed away she had made us a large quilt with pictures of him and the miniature horses we used o raise. It is such a beautiful memorial to him and it hangs on one wall in our family room.

    too quilty? geesh. I have quilts in every room of the house, plus a longarm in the front room. And I could care less if someone turns up their nose at my quilty house. Maybe I'll paint a quilt on the garage door too.

    I totally agree with the previous comments. I would never tell someone that they have too many quilts or whatever in -their homes.

    I have about 30 quilts on walls and beds and that is just up stairs, have to make a whole bunch more for down stairs. Its my house and I live here so I will do it up the way I want it!
    And if it's ever too quilty for any one else, well they do not have to live here. LOL
