Hang a Quilt on the Wall!!

I decided to display my great grandmother's feed sack quilt from the 1920's or 30's on the wall of our dining room. It goes great with the rustic direction in which our decor has gone in that room. I've been influenced by early American decorating and primitive furnishings lately, and I love the history that it conjures up in my mind. I also painted three chairs black in that style. Oh! And I almost forgot, we decided to paint our table top red, instead of the stenciling. In the end the pattern fought with the quilt pattern, and the red is more rustic anyway. Always evolving!
