I think most quilters, who put so much time and value (love,because that is what is really in our hearts when we give) into our gifts know the recipients are allowed to do with them what they want. I have realized from this post that not all quilters share the same opinions. While some think it's okay to use them for picnics, animals, ect.. Others may not. This post shows all of us maybe we should rethink a little and maybe both ways!LOL!
The bottom line is to give and let go and realize we may not get a thank you for everything we ever do.
By the way...just curious...do you put the same into a quilt for a pet?
