I just finished hanging a quilt show (exhibit's only up for 7 weeks) and
have a few dating from the 1800s . . . e-me off line and I'll give you some
hints, many coming from quilters (combined with my background in
collections care). Hint . . . antique ladders are great for quilts that
are too fragile to hang . . .)
