The quilt photo is a quilt from my Great Grandmother. The photo was taken in 2011, when I attempted to donate it to a historical society. It didn't happen. I have had it in a bag on my bedroom floor since last fall.
It was time to clean up my own bedroom. I still have Christmas presents in there for the grandkids (not wrapped either). I sent an email out to my siblings to see if they wanted it. I do not want to store it anymore. It's thread bare, and cannot be used or washed, and I have no where to hang it (and protect it from dust).
Heck, I just put away more Christmas decor my daughter left out, and today a small Christmas tree, and this weekend the outside Christmas lights come down. Life has been that hectic, busy, and so forth.
In the midst of a snail's pace of getting order again, I have several lists going for the next trip to town, in either direction. I think I will try and make my own arrangement for Mom's headstone, but have yet the chance to visit the craft store. I have something in mind.
I'm planting new herb seeds for my indoor pots, and hoping it warms up so the window area is not so cold.

I have a couple of pieces of Christmas decor still out. Trying to make a decision on whether I keep them or not.
God bless.
Such a beautiful quilt and so precious... all the best with your spring cleaning - it's autumn here and I am so looking forward to the cooler weather.. xx
You could cut that old quilt into pieces and frame them for each of the siblings, grandkids to have a piece of your great grandma's history...hate to cut it but it's that fragile and unusable, good way to repurpose but still keep in the family---and share if everyone's into it. It's pretty cool.
What an amazing quilt though! I bet it would have some stories to tell!
I've just restarted my blog at emeraldcottage.blogspot.co.uk , would be lovely to see you over there :)

It's a busy time of year! Most of my time has been spent getting the garden ready for summer duty. I need to get back to my spring cleaning too, the next rainy day we get.
The quilt is beautiful. But I hear you about storing them. I have a couple that my great-grandmother made and I love them dearly, but they just stay on the top shelf of my closet.
