Hi,

If using this quilt as a tablecloth for get-togethers I would suggest getting clear plastic vinyl to use to completely cover over the quilt. I would not want to get food stains on a quilt that would be such a cherished family heirloom.

Lovely quilt and a great heirloom for your family. I agree with Pam...be sure to cover it if you're going to use it on the table.
