I visited a show of mostly antique quilts at the Sanibel Museum and Village.

This one, in particular, is a fine example of hand quilting and applique.

Quilts were displayed in most of the buildings at the Sanibel Museum and Village. The following were in “Miss Charlotte’s Tea Room.”

    I love the way the quilts were displayed on the dining tables! Very wabi sabi. That first quilt is a national treasure.
