The Season for Quilts and Coverlets
Many of the quilts and coverlets in the museum’s collection have recorded histories attached to them, we know who made them and where and when they were constructed. For other examples, their stories have been lost to time, and we may never know how they came to be (though in some cases we can guess the general age or time period of construction). If you have these types of heirlooms, don’t forget to record their history. Use these tips to keep them in good condition for the continued enjoyment by future generations.
