Mine are used as wall hangings, on back of furniture. Bed quilts are used however the recipient chooses. I remember making my middle DS a quilt that he slept under every night. When he was going through the pimply teenage years he got some acne cream on it that resulted in bleach type marks on the dark blue border. I was cross when I saw it then quickly realised that it will always be a reminder of a special time in his life. I still smile and have lovely memories every time I look at that quilt. He is now 30 this month.
