A handmade quilt means someone has put in many hours of thought and hard work. You will want it to stay beautiful for many years to come.
Whether you display them on a quilt rack or store them in a closet, you need to refold them every few months - not longer than every six months. The batting will get thin and worn where the folds are. Refolding will help your beautiful quilts to last much longer and look nice for many years.
If you are displaying them on a quilt rack they will fade where they are exposed to the sun.
Quilts can be handed down from generation to generation, but they need proper care to last.
