Of the quilts that i've kept, the one thats on my bed gets used the most. and yes our 3 longhaired cats are there too. they romp on it, puke on it and leave lots of hair on it. it cost so much to make because it is kingsized, that i don't encourage them to play on it. I'm not looking forward to making anothewr one for that bed. it took me forever to find fabrics in the right colors for the room. maybe we'll take down the wallpaper and change colors when this quilt wears out.
