Created in Ohio's Amish Country in traditional dark fabrics, this Amish-style quilt is hand-quilted in white thread on the navy and black motif. Pieced by Kathy McComb and quilted by Fannie Nisley, the wall-hanging is signed and dated 2005. Sized for easy display, the back has a pocket for a dowel rod.
Most modern quilt pieces are made of cotton fabrics and batting so be sure that your quilt is absolutely clean and dry before storing your quilt. A good bag for storing an heirloom quilt is a freshly-laundered pillow case. Plastic bags, such as trash bags, are an absolute no-no for storing quilts! You will risk discoloration from the chemicals in the plastic as well moisture (or even mold) problems if the fabric can't breathe.
