I've posted these before but I was appreciating them again in the early morning sunlight today.

@dillyd we put my wife's great grandmother's quilts on a cool quilt ladder next to one on display on the wall. We rotate every once in a while.

That's an excellent idea. I am running out of walls and I do have more in storage bins. -

It's an interesting story too. My great great grandma was quite poor. My great grandma, her daughter, pretended to have paying customers for these crocheted bedspreads, which she was actually paying for herself, as a way to get her mom to take the money. She would have refused payment on a bedspread for her own grandchildren. -

LAWDSY I wish I had the pattern for the one on the left. -
@dillyd I'm so glad you don't have them just tucked away in storage! They're marvelous.
