Kimberly,

The Minnesota Historical Society has some great conservation references on their website, including an article on preserving quilts that has a section on mounting them and pictures of the velcro method of display.

Hi all,

I've had a research request from a woman who wants to
display a quilt she owns in her house.  She wants to
know the best "museum" way to do it.

I used to have a drawing showing people how to mount
quilts on a 45 degree angle, and how to make a muslin
sleeve, but I believe I left it in the files at my
last job.

Does anyone know of such a resource?

Thanks!
