Do people really use the quilts shown at quilt shows?
I have just returned from a quilt show. The quilts are beautiful, sort of putting mine to shame, but I am wondering if folks ever really use those quilts. They are just too beautiful to use. I would be afraid to put one of those masterpieces on any of my beds.
Or do they hang them, make large wall hangings out of them?
Or are they just to be admired?
I really am just wondering. I recently made a Bargello quilt that is too pretty to use. I put it on a chair for awhile and decided it wasn't right there. My husband just hung it for me, and I am quite pleased with that...but it got me wondering about these really gorgeous quilts.
I think if I had made one of those masterpieces, I would want to protect it and only bring it out for shows.
