These are all so fantastic! I don't blame you for keeping the one she made for you. I'd hang on for dear life.
What a talented lady. Was she your grandmother? aunt?
I must have missed that part.

What a wonderful thing your are doing. I'm sure it was a difficult decision to make. No one in my family quilted. My ex-husband's grandmother did and I still have my daughter's (she's 22) baby quilt in the bottom of my cedar chest. She has two boys so I get to keep it (at least for now). I've made all my grandbabies quilts but nothing as intricate as these. I'm just amazed at the talent and skills utilized in vintage quilts. Maybe someday ours will be ooohed and awwwed over too. . . .

I'm back from Tillamook, having left the quilts with the museum. The two nice women at the museum were thrilled to get them. We toured their repository, which is temperature controlled. All the quilts are stored in acid-free boxes and catalogued on their museum software. Not all quilts are on display all the time. They bring them out on a rotating basis and exhibit them for a month or so at a time. Also, they take them on tours around the nation from time-to-time. I felt very good leaving them, and I was sure they are in good hands. They will be kept together as a collection named for my grandmother: "The Bertha Maust Collection."

A museum is the perfect place for them. Your gandmaother's work will be enjoyed by so many people. What a great legacy!!! The first one is my favorite.
