My husband makes these ladders also...except they fold on hinges in the middle so they can lean against the wall or fold in half and hang quilts on both sides....I usually take them to our local quilt show and sell them after we hang quilts on them for the show. Your quilts are lovely! How precious to have wonderful old ones in your collection.
If your DH would like to see the ladders my husband makes, let me know and I could e-mail you a picture...as long as we exchange quilt ideas, maybe the DH's would like to exchange wood-working ideas
