i agree totally with you...if the quilt comes back beyond repair it is time for a new one...and when someone says...i will put it away...it is too good to use ...
i take it back, and tell them in that case i will take it back and try again to make you one (usable). when this happens they usually grab it back and say ok..i will use it :thumbup:
seriously...what are you saving them for? i remember my grandma having some dishes that no one was ever allowed to use...so when she died...they went to the salvation army, there was no sentimental feelings toward them, no one ever got to use them so they meant nothing to anyone in the family...as dishes never used....was there really a point to her not letting them get used? i do not get it...and i do not have unlimited storage space to fill with items that should never be used. if it is valuable enough to own is it not valuable enough to put to use?
the more wear and tear the better!
