How not to display quilts

Yes, I know that most people who make quilts do not think of them as art.  Yes, I know that many people in charge of museums and galleries don't think of quilts as art.  Yes, I know that the quilt industry doesn't generally see quilts as art.  But it rattles my cage every time I see quilts displayed for public viewing as though they are nothing more than yardage.

I can't find photos to back up these memories, but have vivid recollections of public museums that displayed small quilts overlapping on horizontal surfaces, so you could only see half.  Once a museum did that with some of my pieces that were on sale as an adjunct to a show where my quilts were hung.  I told them that if that was the best they could do, I would take the for-sale quilts home (they quickly came up with a better solution).

Even if a quilt is traditional and functional, I can't see why a venue that wants to put it on display wouldn't want to have the whole thing visible.  That is, I break out in hives when I see a museum doing this:

But it's not just museums.  I have been following the so-called Modern Quilting movement, a term that seems to encompass younger people with non-traditional design sensibilities.  I know that most of these people are not trying to make art but rather want to make nice things for their homes.  Nevertheless, I don't see how they're supposed to get much inspiration from pictures that show only part of a quilt, no matter how artfully it's arranged on a chair.

I've been seeing photos like this for decades, quilts flung over fences, draped over benches and patches of poison ivy, underneath cats and on top of sleeping babies.  And I'm sick of them.  If quilts are no more than backgrounds for photo ops or evocative props for lifestyle articles, then fine, disrespect them (and rot in hell).  But if people purport to see quilts as something more important, then please do them the courtesy of showing the whole thing.
