It doesn't matter how small and friendly the restaurant is, the owners cannot guarantee 100% "niceness" in their customers.
Think about it, would you buy a quilt that had been hanging in a public bathroom for who knows how long? When was the last time you went shopping in a restaurant bathroom??
Sorry to be so blunt, but I think it would be a real mistake. Besides the physical danger, it gives the impression that you do not think very highly of your own work.
I do not think this is so. The place where I go on retreat has a Betty Boop quilt hanging in the bathroom that were that quilt for sale I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Quilters know that things wash and would recognize fine craftsmanship in a second. I don't think that it devalues her work at all.
