OT- For Quilt Aficionados - SWOON

[amandainvermont]

I have always loved quilts and came across this news item and site -

"A $12 million museum built to showcase the world's largest collection of quilts celebrates its grand opening today (Sunday, March 30).

You can search the quilts by primary pattern (I typed in “flower”) or date range or state. Astounding work.

Super site! tks for sharing Amanda,

I used to love to go the Sheburne Museum and look at the quilts, you could actually touch most of them, which I know is not a good thing, but that was the way they had them displayed, just like they display large rugs in rug stores.

The work behind some of those is just mind boggling.
