Billy, I am with you! I would rather see the product of my labor be tossed on the floor for the baby than tightly wrapped in plastic and shoved in a closet! I tell those who receive my quilts "use them, love them, wash them, and more will come."My husband and I sleep under one year round. He has his favorite so it gets washed and dried with great regularity since the dogs sleep with us, too. When it wears out...darn! I'll have to make another!
