That is beautiful. I have an 18" x 18" square of the same type of quilt I am trying to get my dh to frame for me.

This quilt is lovely and understand why she wants to preserve it. You are so lucky to see it in person. The colors look so rich in the pictures. I have been reading about the 1718 quilt and quilt preservation. Often tulle is used to support the fabrics. From a distance you do not see the tulle.

Wow! that is a beauty. Someone did a lot of beautiful stitching on that quilt. It definitely needs to be preserved some way. Lucky lady to have such a treasure. Thanks for sharing!
