quilt preservation

Quilt preservation involves caring for quilts to prevent deterioration over time. This includes storing quilts in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to avoid fading and fabric damage. Proper support, such as rolling or flat storage, helps prevent fabric stress and tears. Using acid-free materials for wrapping and storage keeps the fabric chemically stable. Gentle cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals, and minimal handling also protect the quilt's integrity. Overall, preservation aims to maintain the quilt’s condition for future generations while respecting its historical and sentimental value.
