I have 10 quilts that are on display around the house. They range in size from large throws to king-sized. When we got home late on Saturday night, I discovered that every one of those lovely quilts had been used for sleeping on the floor! Stinky teen-aged boys on dirty floors meant that I am still washing quilts. Next time I leave for any period of time, I will lock the quilts in the bank! I really have too much time and labor and love invested in my quilts to allow them to be used like that!
I would make a quilt for GS (if you haven't yet), and tell him that is the only one he may share with his friends. I remember my DD's taking quilts and pillows to 'stay the night'. No reason these smelly teens can't do the same! Let their mamas do the extra laundry. Just a thought. ;-)
