I'll bet you heard me all the way from Richmond Virginia. WOOOOOW!!! How beautiful. I know you look at them all the time. Wish someone in my family had made such beauties. I only have one that I picked up at an auction for $75. It's pink and cream with hand embroidered flowers. One of the blocks needs repair, but the rest of it is in mint condition.

Linda, is THAT what I heard an hour or two ago??! hehehehe It was you? :D
I am so fortunate to have such a crafty family. These two quilts ARE in fantastic condition. They've been kept safe and folded up. I honestly have no idea when the last time they actually were used on a bed was!
I will make labels for these guys. I also have 3 quilts my grandma made that she never labeled. I'll label them all!! I emailed my dad to ask her questions like what her mother's full name was, what state she lived in when she made them, etc etc. I haven't heard back from him yet.
How would you clean these quilts, if you wanted to? When you display them out in your house, like on a quilt rack, I'm sure they get dusty. Do you just shake them "clean" and call it good?
