Yes, but they only display it at certain times of the year (I think Sept & Oct only) so verify before you go. It is on my bucket list for sure.
This quilt is amazing! It is also on my bucket list, but I hope I kick the bucket before I get to it!! It says something about your strength of character to be able to start AND complete this quilt. It is an heirloom to be treasured by your family for years. Well done and inspiring!
