Charles Hotel (Cambridge MA) quilt collection
 

If you find yourself near harvard square step into the Charles Hotel and take the stairs up to the 2nd floor and ooh and ahh at the "9 patch" of antique (1880s) quilts on the wall. If you feel daring take the elevator to every floor and see a quilt on every landing. If you stay here (as I am), your bed may have a lovely quilt on the bed!

Here's a glimpse:

Shoot! I can't post photos thru the mobile access to quiltingboard! You'll have to wait!

Can't wait!! Hurry and post them!

You'll have to wait until after I enjoy my chocolate bread pudding + malbec for dessert!

You are a beast!!! Such a tease, LOL!

Okay, back at my room with laptop and transferred photos from iphone to laptop. In the meantime, took some more. Here they are:

Wow, wow, wow!! Beautiful quilts..your sooooooo lucky.

Gorgeous quilts!! I love traditional patterns.

I can't imagine how it would be to physically see these wonderful quilts. These were quilted before the time of the rotary cutter and all our modern gadgets. The elegance of the last quilt is my favorite I believe. Altho I would like to feel and touch all of them.

Luscious eye candy - thank you for showing it to us.

I just LOVE when places decorate with quilts! It's just such a sweet touch!

Oh what a treat on this horrible rainy, thunder and lightening morning! Thank you, thank you for thinking of us. It was wonderful. I am trying to copy them and put them in my journal to drool over. I love the pattern in the. Green one.

Totally unreal. So magnificent!

Stunningly beautiful. I'm in awe!
