A quintet of quilts

There's something about babies that moves people to quilt since Thomas has received a number of beautiful, handmade quilts. After the kitchen was renovated, we converted what was the dining room (where we actually dined no more than half a dozen times) into a play room. Grandma Patti suggested hanging the quilts on curtain rods in this room, something that we finally got around to doing. The results, as you will see are quite stunning (given the way that Thomas stares at them, he clearly agrees). Many thanks to our quilt artists!

Also quilted by Grandma Shirley from Tuscon, Arizona
(Note: this is a six sided quilt and we haven't figured out how to hang it yet. I think that some we might be able to do it with some dowels cut by a miter saw)
