I'd rather hide my best quilt than watch it suffer that fate.kerynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582879782723937419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-43545962954453082852017-02-26T19:20:41.925-06:002017-02-26T19:20:41.925-06:00I find it interesting that many families felt they...I find it interesting that many families felt they had a quilt worth hiding, either for sentimental reasons or otherwise.

I doubt the quilts were wrapped directly in it, but perhaps it they were wrapped first in sheeting, then something like a box and/or a large oiled cloth that had been cured so it didn't seep oil then tied tightly with rope, it could have survived in fairly decent condition. My guess the top was folded inward, so who knows what the backing looks like.Zina Abbott Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702876632509821510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-11706269568873028642017-02-25T08:05:33.410-06:002017-02-25T08:05:33.410-06:00I've always wondered how they kept the soil, r...I've always wondered how they kept the soil, rain and ground water from staining those buried quilts in the days without plastic and silicon caulk, especially if they were buried for years. Even if they had a wooden box handy, it doesn't seem like much protection. This makes me very skeptical of these stories. The quilts might have been hidden, but were they really buried in the ground? <br /><br />That top quilt with what looks like 4 cockleburs around a center shape is really something! suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885011551892500020noreply@blogger.com
