When I give a quilt away, I always hope that they will have a great appreciation for them, but I have to admit, I like the idea of questioning them to see if they are "quilt worthy" first. If not, I feel obligated to educate them in the best way I can about the work and time that goes into them... why they should care about taking care of them, etc. Then I just hope for the best! My dogs, though, get to sleep on old blankets....and an old couch cushion... check my avatar. lol.
