Oh my, I don't know if I could get used to the idea of quilts as rugs. Now someone who uses the quilt I made them to curl up on the floor with, I'm totally comfortable with that. When I give away I quilt, I assure them that it is meant to be used, not enshrined. I just feel like I put too much time and effort and money into my quilts for them to be rugs. I supposed it would be much more durable if the quilting was very tight.
