I asked my son if he wanted me to make him a quilt, he picked out the fabric and design. Then a couple of years later went over to take care of the dog and the dog was laying on it...put it in the hamper to be washed...when it happened the second time, I took it home and washed it. When my daughter saw it, and remarked that it would go in her living room, gave it to her. When her brother saw it at her house, he said we have one just like it, she told him, no you don't..and what had happened. yes, it hurts!
