Why not display it where you can see it and enjoy. If you put it in a cedar chest wrap it in muslin or put it in a pillow case so it won't me touching the wood as that could stain it. It also need to be taken out and refolded once in awhile so not to get fold lines.

lots of pretty colors in that 9patch, and lots of love too!

I am so happy for you!! There is simply nothing like an old quilt, even better when it was made by a family member :)

What a special treat!

What a treasure you have!

A beautiful keepsake.

Looking at the fabrics made me miss my grandmother.....and have a little cry, too. Thanks so much for the picture. If you have the wall space, I'd look into ways to stabilize it, maybe at a quilt museum site, and hang it. I wonder if you could also display it by having a large shadowbox with plexiglass to protect it. If you kept it out of the sun and refolded it periodically you'd be able to enjoy it everyday.
It's a wonderful gift. I'm very happy for you.......

Oh what a treasure!

What a wonderful treasure!! :D :D

I had my vintage quilts displayed on a wooden quilt rack in my bedroom. That way I could see them every day.
