The thought of quilts being used as padding made me flinch, let's hope they were mass produced quilts. The majority of my quilts are made to be loved and used, such as baby quilts. I know that my son used his quilt in many ways, although every time he left and came home again, the quilt came with him. However, although I don't consider my quilts heirloom quality, I do make quilts for our family reunions, often in memory of one of my siblings that has passed away. Imagine my surprise when I got a Christmas letter from one of my nephews, with a picture of him lying on the floor with his dog, both on the quilt. I was very upset, although I know once they leave my hands, they technically aren't mind, but since all my family members look forward to winning those quilts, I thought they would be more careful with them. Oh well.
