Blanket Stories — BYU Museum of Art

Another exhibit at the BYU MOA caught my eye as I was leaving this evening.  I immediately thought about my quilts–there are about this many.  The idea of this display was fascinating to me.  It’s a beautiful history of blankets used to comfort with love.

Aside from the steel pole that punctures each blanket at every layer (oh so painful), I would love to see my quilts, 100 years from now stacked like this, with the stories they’ll tell about who used them, loved them and felt near to me because of them.

Each blanket was tagged and told a story.

 

What a beautiful visual display of love!
