Antique quilt collection

Will has a friend here in Paris who collects antique quilts! Imagine seeing antique quilts from the U.S. In Paris of all places!!
Charles is a collector of beautiful quilts in one of the most spectacular apartments in Paris that I've ever seen. When we were leaving, Will was joking (maybe not) that she should have an apartment like that! We all should be so lucky!!
Actually Charles was a charming host and what a treat to meet him! Thanks to Will for bringing me along!!

Remember that Paris apartments are usually very small-- not this one!!

I loved this one!

 
His favorite is a log cabin-- you'll see why

I love this album pattern 

Log cabin of course 


This was in the living room with two large floor to windows overlooking the Seine with a view of the Eiffel Tower in the distance! More log cabins

A hallway 

This hexagon top was in the entryway! I loved it!

This was in a bedroom- the blue and red quilt on the wall is one of my favorites

I have more to show you but it'll have to wait until Wednesday. We fly home tomorrow!

Just so you know where I went:
We passed under tonight after dinner and I still have to pinch myself!!

Life is good!
