The quilts I found the most inspiring were too fragile to be hung and so they were layered on a bed. The volunteer who folded them back for us to see didn't fold them back very far but far enough to see how marvelous they were. :0) (The grey along the sides is a shadow not damage thank goodness)
I loved this basket one.
I marveled at the tiny pieces in this beauty.
This one was quite old. The colors are so vibrant and bright. I would have liked to study the fabrics in this one longer. Not to mention see the centre medalion.
This quilt had very nice quilting and I just love the background fabric.I was inspired and I hope you are too!
Happy Quilting!!

You lucky thing, seeing those quilts is a treat even if you couldn't see the whole of them. I loved the old one with the wonderful fabrics.

Oooh, I adore antique quilts! Thanks for sharing! The basket quilt is definitely my favorite - enough that it could end up on my "to do" list!
Those quilts are just lovely! TFS.
The basket quilt and the Mariner's Compass are my favorites! I enjoyed seeing them.
It looks like a wonderful exhibit! The medallion quilt looks very old- I'd love to see it all too.
Really enjoyed seeing all these antiques, Janet! Love the basket quilt.
I loved seeing the old quilts!! The one you mentioned, with the little pieces, is a block that I have saved in my TO DO pile...some day I'll actually make it :0)
