I use mine, in fact the one currently on my bed I noticed the back is becoming thread bare...not sure If I am going to try to repair, or replace with one of my other quilts...I agree use them, I love going to my son's house and seeing a wadded up quilt on the sofa. My daughter when she was about 10 spent the night at a friends house, she came home and told me they only had "itchy" blankets. Every time she went for a sleep over after that she took her own quilt with her...lol
