    What a wonderful gift you received from your Mom. I am so happy that you have something from your Grandmother that you can treasure always.

    I might suggest that you roll it, not fold it, and perhaps you would want it out on display

    What an incredible treasure! Just imagine the fabrics and where they came from ... maybe even old clothing that was used for quilts. I can only imagine the wonderful stories that come along with that beautiful quilt. I know you will cherish it!

    Oh, so wonderful that you now have the quilt to cherish. I have quilts from both my grandmothers. One is a seven sisters pattern in red and white and the other a tied quilt similar to yours.

    i would wrap it in acid free tissue paper and put it in a box
    put tissue paper rolls where you fold it to prevent creases
    re fold it a couple times a year
