Oh my, I don't know if I could get used to the idea of quilts as rugs. Now someone who uses the quilt I made them to curl up on the floor with, I'm totally comfortable with that. When I give away I quilt, I assure them that it is meant to be used, not enshrined. I just feel like I put too much time and effort and money into my quilts for them to be rugs. I supposed it would be much more durable if the quilting was very tight.

Okay, this verbalizes my sentiments exactly. Gosh, can get a large colorful rug at Lowes, even, for less than I can make a quilt!!

I read the book but was put off by all the extras which were put on the quilt to protect after finishing. If someone here makes them with out all the extr fuss may be interested.
