Now Round quilted by Anna Klipp
This is all that is left of Anna's earliest quilt, a 100+ year old quilt called an ice cream pattern because of the cone and one scoop of ice cream shape <) sort of.
KTM put a new backing & binding on it to hold it together as it's very fragile... used it on a small round table as a topper.

 


Quilted by my mother, supposedly.

This was KTM's youngest's 1st quilt who needed
a bunch of help & direction from Mom.

One doesn't have to use a regular quilt rack for
displaying a collection.
Ladders work fantastically!

One of many ways to display Quilts!

Love To Rotate Quilts By Season!
Thank You (Again :) For Visiting!
