It reminds me of the phrase cowdy custard...haha! <BR/>Thankfully some of the quilts are large enough to fill the walls. I can imagine your frustration though on not being able to see the ones attached up high. I loved the display, thank you so much. The little dress was so sweet and the hour glass quilt lovely. I also loved the 'wash day' quilt and the little samplers.<BR/>Warm hugs Angelaangelaswebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450570230777338043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32907900.post-9302407076002249372009-02-28T21:32:00.000+01:002009-02-28T21:32:00.000+01:00Love the quilts, they are gorgeous.

I also prefer the traditional patterns.
