LinkLinks Washington Post Express: Don’t sleep on this Smithsonian quilt exhibit By Editor On Aug 1, 2019 Last updated Aug 1, 2019 47 Share If you love traditional American quilts for their simplicity, usefulness and thrift, you are going to hate the National Museum of American History exhibit “Everyday Luxury: Silk Quilts From the National Collection,” which opened Tuesday.
