When I made baby quilts for my nephews. I expressed how much I wanted them used. I even hoped they might follow them to kindergarten. Now that they are big boys, their mom has put them away so they can have them for their babies, which I also appreciate. I always put in washing instructions, which helps preserve the quilts even though they are used. What good are they, if they are put up and go unseen and unappreciated. I use to be bad about putting things away people gave me because I was afraid something would happen to it. I finally came to the conclusion what a waste, people give you things to be enjoyed. I now use or display everything that I am given and hope everyone else does the same.
