Beautiful quilt.

If you want to keep it because it means something to you, but you don't really see yourself "using" it, it could be hung somewhere as art as it is a very nice quilt! Another option (that could be a bit scary) is if you want to still give it some place to shine and recognize the person that made it but you don't want it to take up so much room...you could, very carefully cut out portions and frame it very tastefully and have some kind of label for the front of the picture made that says who made it, when, etc. If there are other members of your family that would like it as well, then you could make several of these framed quilt art pictures that would still have the same heirloom sentiment/value as the quilt. I'm sure there are other ideas as well, but these are the first that come to my mind. Good luck with what you decide!
table (or commode...don't remember which) and it was absolutely breath-taking. That's what I would do if it were mine. It should be somewhere where it can be seen and loved. Maybe in an entry area, if you have one, or over your couch, etc. |
I think it's a beautiful quilt. Save it forever!!

If you were to cut out some of the prettiest pieces, making a shadow box along with maybe an old pair of glasses, old pair of white gloves, maybe a brooch, hankie or something to remember the person by (that is if it's a family quilt).

Now that is what I call a Crazy Quilt. I have the one my mother made. It has a few places too that need to be replaced. Have the fabric, just haven't done it yet.
