I have many of hers as well and I take them out about every three months admire them and refold them. This protects the fibers from damage on fold lines. Many quilts later I always have one or two in progress. Good luck with your projects.Corrinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-44886702155069697512011-01-22T15:08:55.017+01:002011-01-22T15:08:55.017+01:00What a treasure trove!

But I don't really like it. It's a yucky orange color. I generally like orange, just not this shade. The detail and work in it are beautiful, however.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312207507936646771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-57231573907943881822011-01-21T16:24:53.026+01:002011-01-21T16:24:53.026+01:00Soooo much work!

One of my greatest regrets is that I have no talent at all for crafty endeavors like quilting (I flunked home ec in seventh grade after I sewed my finger to the bag I was making). Perhaps that is why I appreciate the hard work and incredible results so very much : )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955854427063032485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-56347577887993612852011-01-21T15:45:53.881+01:002011-01-21T15:45:53.881+01:00Beautiful colors and patterns, works of art and yo...Beautiful colors and patterns, works of art and you are right to be so proud of them. My mother in law is a quilter, she keeps one going most of the time and has stacks of finished quilts in the closet. It's an addiction I think, but a good one! I guess mine is baking, made bread yesterday and enjoyed the making and the eating!
