The quilts are in remarkably good shape. Only a little bit of deterioration along a couple seams due to age and having actually been used as intented (the oldest of the quilts still has the muslin "beard guard" sewn over the one end).
I am leaning towards installing big decorative curtain rods and doing the laying the quilt over the rods way of displaying.
I know mom had at one point taken the quilts to the amherst colonial museum for appraisal. Maybe I can find time to go there on a Saturday and ask how to display them. Or call the Buffalo Historical Society.
But if you are willing, I would appreciate it if you can contact the EK laural and ask her advice.
