Nowadays, I only meander or stipple quilt on quilts to be used on furniture in my home. I give my four-legged children run of the house and furniture. Except for a bit extra wear and tear, they have not destroyed anything. They give me so much pleasure in return that it more than compensates for the extra wear and tear. That said, I would never put my hand-appliqued quilt on the bed==
