I think a quilt is meant to be used too...I think the "heirloom " quilts are special because they were made pre-rotary cutter! but now we can practically whip out a quilt top a day and if we are lucky to have a long arm, maybe even a whole quilt a day!
On the other hand...if I hand sewed, hand quilted a quilt with 85 kazillion small pieces I might be inclined to wrap it in acid free paper too!
On the other hand (I have three [hands])What if some future relative finds it and throws it over his or her oily spaceship? We'll just have to cry in heaven....unless we're in quilt room heaven , you know what I mean....
