I use the best materials I can afford for all my quilts. Who knows which will be a family heirloom. There is a quilt in my youngest DD closet (hand made by my mom) that is the most loved quilt in this house. All three kids slept with it and DGD is trying to claim it now. It is in tatters. I make mine out of good fabric in the hopes someone will love just one of them as much as that one is loved.
