That's really a shame, but I think the others are right. There must be a reason he sent it home for now....
I don't have anything in this house FULL of 18th century antiques that I DO not/will not USE, USE, USE. I can't see just looking at something collect dust and saving it for my kids and grandkids to fight over/sell/whatever.
My bed is stacked with several of my quilts right now and my dogs love them. Use them and enjoy!
