Probably just luck that they kept so well, I guess. The attic was very hot and very dry most of the time. I think you're supposed to wrap quilts in acid-free paper or something for storage, but the old timers had no idea about that.Glad they were very dry and in a dry location or the plastic would have drawn damp, though I guess it is a toss up, if they are in cardboard or similar then they are at risk for insects...not sure what the recommended long term storage method is for fabrics? Though the plastic bags worked just fine for yours.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the pictures. I am still not all that adept at machine quilting, but my carpal tunnel makes it too hard to complete big projects by hand anymore. At least, I'm still quilting, right? I had all but given it up before I decided to let go my perfectionism and get a good machine to learn with.Hello, speckledhen! I just found this thread of yours. I love your quilts! You do such beautiful work! I enjoyed looking at your work here. I wish that I would have learned how to make some. It seems that for the most part, quilting like you do has become a lost art.
