I agree with the others -- to be valued and loved it must be seen and used. My mother is getting way up in age and has started sorting out stuff to get rid of or divide between us kids. There have been a few items she highly treasured that none of us cared about, mostly because they were so carefully put away that we didn't even know they existed. It was the things that was part of our life and our memories that we treasured. Have your quilts out where you and others can have the pleasure of seeing them, especially after the labor of making them..
