My son has a new game he plays with our puppy. He covers up with the Burgoyne Surrounded quilt I made for our couch and lets the pup scratch and claw his way until he finds him. I cringed at first but after weeks of this abuse there's still no damage at all ( I check).I used quilt shop quality fabric and did my own FMQ. I figured that it's worth it to watch the two enjoy each other so much. So even if something does happen to it, I have hundreds of quilts I'd still like to make. No big deal for me even though it's a lovely, lovely quilt.
