Thank you everyone of you for letting me vent. This quilt is absolutely not worth ruining our relationship, that was never an issue. The only thing I was thinking about is that I know at my age there is some perspective that I have that they don't. Someday, 20 years from now they may regret not having taken better care of this quilt. If they are loving it to death, and are reminded how much I love them everytime they see it on their bed, then that is what I made it for. If they hate it and have given it to the cat for a bed, well, then I wish they would put it away for one of their kids (expecting their first) someday. I don't think it has been abused, I was just shocked at how worn it looks, so soon, and I wanted your help to know what I might do to be able to put it in the show. All the fabric I used in it is top quality quilt shop brand fabric.
