I sincerely understand that you enjoy showing your quilts like works of art and that these were probably not the quilts that were made to be used and abused. I have two teenage son's and understand where you are coming from. I hope that they were not damaged and that you can show them again soon. I can't tell you how many times I had to show the child what quilts and blankets he can use and what ones are like stories and masterpieces that will cause permanent grounding if he touches.
