Hi again, Patti!
I agree with you about making them and not using them! It does seem a shame.
Personally mine get used, even though I told you most are hand quilted. I don't want to die and have my kids find tons of quilts (I'm exaggerating a bit here haha) that never saw the light of day.
But special quilts can be put away I guess. Just make sure you enjoy some of them :)
