Do any of these quilts have labels on them? If not, your job as "keeper of the quilts" should be to put a label on each one of them. There are many ways to make labels.
In another 30, 40 or 50 years, no one will know who made them and where.
Those quilts are so special, they deserve a label to preserve the hertiage.
That's just my opinion, but if I had them, I would take the time to label them all. It also adds to the value of them.

I saw one of the storage chests on this web before. Where did
you get yours. I would love to have one as I have a lot of my mother-in-lawsquilts and some hand pieced ones that wou ld love to be stored and seen in something like your chest.
