The quilts "all" took my breath away. I piddle daily, one cut at a time, one stitch at a time, knowing my quilts probably won't end up in a collection but please God, don't let them end up in a resale shop! I saw only beauty and know better than to complain!

I was very impressed by the unique presentation. Ken Burn’s has saved a beautiful chunk of American history.

Beautiful quilts but who ever thought this video presentation was the way to go was bug nuts IMHO. So slow it was like watching paint dry waiting for the next quilt.
For those having trouble go to YouTube site to watch and go to the settings wheel lower right and click on 720p HD

Just finished watching the video. Based on what prior comments said, something must have improved. I had no problem seeing the video or hearing the commentator. Enjoyed the video.

If you turn your phone to landscape and choose full screen, you should be able to see the entire video. However, as previously noted by another vieeer, it will not improve the audio. The music runs over the top of the narrator’s voice, making her descriptions very difficult to decipher.

I saw more of the floor and ceiling than the quilts. Terrible video.

I could hear most of the commentary but could only see the first 3 quilts. There must be a problem with this video for all of us to have issues with it.

Thank you Mr. Burns for sharing your quilts. I agree with Cynthia about the music but I find often lately music is to loud especially television shows. Or maybe it's my ears?

Regrettably, turning up the volume to hear the narrative only made the music louder. The stories may have been interesting, but I’ll never know.
Thank you, Ken Burns, for preserving these treasures.

Just lovely. The background music was much too loud. :sigh:
