My former DIL never let the children use the quilts I made them and when I told her it was OK, even good, if they used them to death, she told me she saw no good reason to cut up perfectly good fabric and sew it back together again. Oh my.... After the divorce I asked my son to take the quilts to his place (they share custody) and, against the "rule" the new puppy got to 2 of them and chewed them up pretty badly. They were mailed to me, at my request, and someday I'll get around to fixing them. But the oldest girl told me recently that she has a vision in her head for a quilt and wants to know if I'll help her make it!!!!!!!! She still wants her other quilts back, fixed, but understands the problem (it was hers that got chewed and she knows she's the one who left the bedroom door open). I have other commitments right now, but maybe next summer we can make a quilt together!!!! All's well that ends well.
