    Stunning quilts, all 3!
    I agree with the suggestions to label them with the information you have for future reference. Then enjoy them by displaying them as you wish. Then making provisions to will them to a museum or historical society. With Minnesota being where she lived whilst making them, I bet a museum or historical society there would love to have them!
    Thanks for sharing,

    My friend bought a cabinet with glass sides and front. It's about 30 inches high, 35 to 40 inches left to right and maybe 15 to 18 inches deep. She has old quilts folded and stored in there. Now and then, she takes them out and refolds them. It's a great way to enjoy them instead of stuffed in a drawer someplace.

    They are all beautiful. Enjoy them as long as you can.
    Sending them back to the town where she made them is a good idea.

    If you want to pass them on, some worthy group might be interested in selling raffle tickets. Would feel good to make some money for a good cause. They are lovely as is your porch!!

    I grew up in MN and am hoping I am related to you. I would love to take them off your hands. I love the yellow one! Kidding aside, I hope they do end up back in MN if you decide you don't wish to display them at your home. They are a treasure!
