I will admit to letting the cats sleep on one of my quilts. The first 5 minutes it was on the bed one of them threw up on it. It was a pretty defining moment in quilting for myself. Either I don't use them or suck it up and enjoy the quilts. By the time the quilt was dry I put it back on the bed. I use a clothes brush on it every week to get the fur off and wash it every couple weeks. It looks good. However, there is one quilt I made that I won't put on the bed. It has a white background and has a lot of applique. That one is for special occasions.
I don't ask my daughter about the quilt I made for her and 1 for her DH, nor do I go upstairs to look in the bedroom. They have 3 big dogs. There are things better left unknown!! :lol:
