Yes--that's my feelings too. I just hate to see them put on the closet shelf because they are "too nice" to use. Hanging up, on the bed, on the couch, in the car--please use. Now, if I am making a "keeper" then my expectations are a bit different, but most of my quilts are "utility" --use, use, use.
