I can understand not wanting to use them as a picnic blanket out in the dirt (though grass is probably fine), but it seems like plastic on a table setting is kind of, um, off-putting to the diners. Why do you treat dining table quilts differently than tablecloths?
I agree. I hand piece and hand quilt mine and throw them in the wash. It is okay to use the quilts and wash them. Mine wash up great and I get lots of compliments on them. I'm for using this stuff we make unless it is a wall hanging or an artsy thing.
