Out on Display

If you can put something in it, on it, or under it, Julie's filled it, draped it, or propped it up with a quilt.

Vintage quilts in Julie's collection are rolled, folded, or hung flat on the wall. Here, a basket of quilts and two Irish Chain quilts on a drying rack add a cozy touch to a bedroom corner.

Flea Market Find

A $25 Irish Chain quilt found padding furniture at a flea market graces the foot of Julie's iron bed. Neutral tones throughout the house accentuate her collection.

Years of Collecting

Although the first quilt in Julie's collection was an appliquéd Sunbonnet Sue, most of her quilts are pieced. Shown top to bottom are Thousand Pyramids, Wedding Ring, and Martha Washington Star.

Take Care

"I don't think the quilts I'm buying are necessarily museum-quality pieces," Julie explains, "but I'm not careless with them." She rarely cleans an antique quilt, although if it is extremely dirty, she soaks it in the washing machine without agitation in mild, quilt-friendly soap. If they're on beds, they're folded back at night.
