I was in a Dallas, Texas, antique mall today (Forestwood) and looking at quilts. A gentleman walked up and told me about your red and white quilts….said it gave him chills just thinking about your wonderful display. I Googled it to find it and I am amazed. What an incredible collection and what an amazing collector you are!!

Wow, the quilts seem to take on a life of their own displayed all together like that against a dark background. Thanks for sharing.

They can be really expensive. I found a really nice tattered one at Aberfoyle flea market last summer though for $20. I’m sure it will make it’s way onto the blog soon…
