The quilts were not damaged. I had told my gs they he could have company and the company could spend the night. I was just tired and blowing off a little steam. He offered to wash the quilts, but it would have meant he missed a day of work to stay home to do laundry. (He washes all his own laundry, and has done so for a couple of years.) I usually wash, refold, and relocate the quilts at least once a year. Sometimes, I just air them well. I appreciate everyone's concern. As the old saying goes..."No harm, no foul." He even used is own 2 quilts, which he did wash. He did replace them all where I wanted them after they were cleaned.

By the way, every one of the young men called to thank us for allowing them to stay at our house. They even thanked me for the use of the quilts. Several even asked if I would make a quilt for them!

Wonderful. No matter how much we love our boys they still make us wonder sometimes.
