ive given away almost every quilt ive made and everyone is different about their gift my sil is proud and hangs or displays it almost reverently lol. my brother decorates his man cave with it. their daughter uses and launders it often. the other daughter is the same and the only time ive worried was i made a wallhanging for one of the great nieces and i wanted to dabble a bit in applique so i planned it to hang up and not be laundered much well ally had different ideas and she thought her doll needed a quilt so its been washed alot as she drags her dolly everywhere im holding my breath that it stays together lol.
