You slept under it for luck to the recipient?? I've not heard of that but I like it!! ...Although I couldn't do that....I'd never get any sleep for alla the kitty-weight on top of me!
I get to enjoy the quilts I make by hanging them over my bed for a few weeks or more before I give them away. Not TOOOO much kitty hair gets on them, and the quilts are protected from errant claw-play
