I have the old quilts in my studio, in a cabinet built by my grandfather. It's next to the rocker where I do handwork and watch TV, so I get to see them every day. Hate for treasures to be locked away in a trunk or closet somewhere. If you search "My sewing space" for my studio pics, the cabinet is in the third picture. Can't fit all of them in there anymore.

Thanks for taking the time to show us your great collection. They are interesting and beautiful quilts
And just think, when you're finished you'll have a complete photographic record of your collection!

I love the faded look of a long used and loved quilt. Thank you for your gift of time for airing, shooting pics and posting all your gems with us. What a wonderful legacy you have to pass on one day.
