This is a subject dear to my heart. I want my quilts to be used and loved not wasted. I don't care as long they are well loved. I made a quilt for my son, when I gave it to him he didn't seem to like it very much and I was very disappointed. He flew home and in a couple of days he gave me a call. He said his girlfriend absolutely loved it and all his friends were raving about it. I don't think he really appreciated it until he saw it through someone elses eyes. He sent me a picture of it on his bed. Sometimes the pats come in a round about way.
