Looking at the fabrics made me miss my grandmother.....and have a little cry, too. Thanks so much for the picture. If you have the wall space, I'd look into ways to stabilize it, maybe at a quilt museum site, and hang it. I wonder if you could also display it by having a large shadowbox with plexiglass to protect it. If you kept it out of the sun and refolded it periodically you'd be able to enjoy it everyday.
It's a wonderful gift. I'm very happy for you.......
