you might suggest that your neighbor contact the Latimer Textile Museum in Tillamook, Oregon for some suggestions on what should be done with these historical quilt tops. They have a vast collection of historical quilts and lots of great info.

I would check with the local historical society. They could put you in touch either with someone who actually works with such pieces or refer you to publications etc. that would address the situation. I did a lot of handquilting for a woman in our community who does custom framing and preserving. She had a quilting friend of mine very carefully hand baste small quilts or fragments of quilts or other needlework to acid free cardboard that was then carefully framed with special glass that filters light that would fade or rot textiles. The woman with the framing business has a degree in and was a musum curator.
