Thankyou everyone. I will be displaying my great granny's quilt. I have realized I can not put it away. I want to enjoy it everyday. Thankyou for your comments and tips.

Isn't it wonderful to have something made by your ancestors? I have a collection of 7 generations of quilts, from my great-great-grandmother to my granddaughters. It is my most prized possession.

Really nice! I have some of those same fabrics in a quilt my grandmother had! I have the quilt now. It was put together by my grandmother's sister. I cherish it very much, and did not know my grandmother had it until she passed away and we were cleaning out her house. Everytime I see it, it reminds me of her. I never met her sister, her sister died before I was born. But I have neice who will inherit the quilt from me.
