They want to keep it nice because I made it for them....grrrrr...I said use it I will make you another one....so some quilts will last forever for some people! LOL

T-Anne, I feel your pain :0) Not that my story reflects yours.....

At least your quilt isn't on the benches for a cushion, of your son and DIL's deck at an outdoor barbeque .... ask me how I know.... :0) Big lesson for me in when I gave her that gift of a quilt....that, it was just another blanket....that one hurt ... ouch. Needless to say that was the last quilt for her from me. That was just a little to much 'go-ahead-and-use-it' for me!
