Whether on a picnic table, the ground or wrapped around someone, that's what it is all about for me. The delicate ones I keep home but most are for general use and I love seeing them used!
That is exactly my feeling, I get a thrill from seeing my quilts at a picnic! I have no artisitc ability but seeing someone sitting on my quilt at a picnic is love for me. One of my favorite photos (& my daughter's) is of toddler granddaughter & her dad lying on a colorful scrap quilt at a beach, that quilt is at least 20 yrs old & still going strong.
