I think I remember seeing articles  back when this display was going on.  Can you imagine owning 6000+ quilts?  Where on earth would she store all of them?

Oh my goodness!!  I do have this book!  It truly is a done beautifully and I'm so glad I bit! 

I would have loved to attend this show live and in person in NY.  My cousin in NM sent me an article about it.  The book does go into some detail about how the collection was built and how the exhibit came to be.  I forget how I learned of the offering for the book.  But I think I recall returning a postcard for the offer.  Like a Readers Digest offer?  Maybe someone will help jog my old brain.
