I make lots of kids quilts and I always attach a note saying ...Use it to curl up in, lay on the floor with it, lay on the sofa and cover yourself and the dog with it, make a fort or a tent with it, use it for a picnic blanket or beach blanket but PLEASE use it. Make memories with it, wash the heck out of it if you want, get grass stains on it or ants at a picnic. When they have loved it to rags I will be happy to make them another one. It would really hurt to find it folded up on a shelf because someone was saving it for 'good'.
