I too have a few quilt here at home the I made and have been loved to death by the kids, the dogs, the cats and me and DH. One has a hole I swear I can step through...lol
Some I have made have been given as gifts and I have learned that some are used and some are used as decorations.
I made my Auntie a quilt with a florida beachy theme (she lives in kentucky but loves Florida) and it is on her bed during the day as a decoration quilt and at night it is folded up and put in the chair. I did tell her Auntie, sleep with the dern thing but she is scared to "mess it up" I did tell her well if it gets messed I can always make another one.
In my house the family knows if its drapped over a chair a couch or any where within reachable grabbing distance its fair snuggle game.
