I think this is a hard question because if I make a quilt for someone I do it only for people who I know would appreciate it. I would not be upset if it seams abused as long as I know they are using it and not shoving it up on a shelf. I don't even think I would get upset if a small quilt I made ended up being used to make a pet more comfortable as most families that have dogs and cats think of them as family members. I would be more upset if I know someone didn't appreciate and use my quilt for their pleasure.
