I gave one to my grandmother with instructions to use it. She folded it up with the colors she loves and left it on the back of her couch. This is her way of "using" my quilt. I love that everyone that comes over pics it up and loves it! I love to see my quilts used one went to a family that lost a son and it gets very used! They call it hugs from Ryan. Makes me cry to think of it! I guess once it is given away it is theres to do with how they see fit.
