I was afraid to ruin it in case I had to give it back! I mean, he didn't want a quilt. I certainly didn't plan on getting divorced but I didn't want to take any chances with the quilt. Anyway, now that I'm starting to quilt, I decided to get it out. It really is beautiful. And my husband really likes it too. Here is a picture of it.
And we always hear from "The Experts" that we should NEVER keep our quilts in plastic bags because cotton must breathe and
plastic will cause the fabric to rot. Well, after 17.5 years it still looks darn good! Belles :-o
