I purchased several from Ross and used them on our beds before I got into quilting. I think they have their place as I'm not sure that I would enjoy the doggies after I've slaved over making one. The purchased ones (wedding ring and star designs) have lasted for years. I think I would prefer the quilts I've made used a little more gently than stretched out and pulled like a tug of war type idea that DH can do when he sleeps rolled up in the quilt like a burrito. LOL
