    My first thought was "She made it into a dress!" Then I realized it was a beautiful quilt "rack". Grandma would be so proud.

    The bow is a wooden quilt hanger. It attaches to the wall and then you pull the quilt through it. With a less heavy or smaller quilt more would stay above the bow and it wouldn't look like a headless person or dress or whatever it looks like now. I got it as a gift from my mother - she found it at a craft show nearly 20 years ago.

    Glad it received a place of honor amongst all the family photos - it deserves to be treasured.

    Love the quilt, display and the story. Quilts with their own story are so special.

    What a clever way to display your grandmother's quilt! And, what a stunning quilt it is.
