(Mostly error! lol)
I'm trying to share the Mennonite quilts but it just isn't working. So, I'm going to try doing it a different way!
Please note that the quilts were not exactly on exhibit -- they were being auctioned. Actually, the process was interesting. There was a revolving stage and on each side was a bed with the head raised. Quilts were laid on the bed about 12 or more deep -- then that side would be turned so that the auctioneer and his crew could display the quilts one at a time. The bidders, seated in bleachers, would then bid.
Meanwhile, the other side of the stage would be set up. Once all the quilts on one side were sold the stage was revolved and the process started again.
Before staging, the quilts were folded (with one exception) I took a few pictures but I couldn't see the whole quilt. Some of the quilts were very plainly made, using scraps. Some were more elaborate. I really wanted to unfold them all but it just wasn't possible.

That's long, isn't it! Well, let's see if it works!
I tried it and once you get to that site you have to click on View Anita's Gallery. Then click on the Mennonite Quilt album.
There has to be an easier way!
