I traded him a large carpet for the quilt and it is now residing on my guest room bed.
Ok, there are situations where we need to protect those quilts a little All the quilts I make and give away are to be used and loved and washed and dragged all over, however I would probably have a cow if my kids used it as a tarp in the back of a pickup truck!!! Especially if it was something special from a grand or great grand parent!!!!
I don't know how I would have reacted but I probably would have knocked her over yanking my arm away!! The gal of that woman to grab you!!! I have bad shoulders and if grabbed it could have been a very painful experience.
I think you handled it very well!!!
