Turkey Red Tulip Quilt question

12 years ago

Years ago I inherited an amazing antique quilt passed down from my Great, great grandmother. It is an appliquÃ¯Â¿Â½ Tulip quilt and is in excellent condition. It is also quite large which is very unusual for a quilt made in the late 1860's. It fits our queen bed. The appliquÃ¯Â¿Â½ stitches are the tiniest I've ever seen, and the quilting is at least 12 per inch.
My question is does anyone ever share photos of their treasured quilts on this forum? It seems a shame to keep it packed away in its muslin bag and would like to share pics if that is not a faux pas.

I've posted pictures of a family quilt dating from the same era. Mine is in terrible condition though. It was so worn, even in it's time, that it was halved and both sections sent to the bunkhouse for the farmhands to use.

Would LOVE to see pictures of your quilt!!!
