When we got our first kitten, i got in the habit of putting down the lid. i was afraid she would fall in and drown. now i think it looks so much better that way-besides the one time that i didn't-i think i was going to clean it-i dropped something and it knocked my toothbrush out of the cabinet and you got itRIGHT into the toilet!!! oh yuck! and it was an electric one so i threw the head away and totally disinfected the handle!
Your quilt is beautiful and i'm glad that you had a before picture!
