Hopefully someone can answer better than I can. I have been working on and off for the past couple years on the Farmers Wife Sampler, just finished all the blocks and hope to have the quilting and binding done by the end of the year. It will have a nice label with my name and location and dates. I plan on keeping the quilt. When I am gone, hopefully, my stepson and his wife, will want the quilt to pass on to keep and then pass on to their children. If that happens, then it would be a family heirloom. I don't expect to ever really use this quilt on a bed and it's to large to be a wallhanging. As for other quilts I have made, to my best ability, they are made and given for using everyday.
