When its used because I made it for a friend or family member they know I love them and it's about that I took the time to make something for them. The love and caring and someone feels when wrapping themselves in that home made quilt is more about the known feeling for the giver not the fabric passing it along.
Good explanation of why those phrases are used. My feelings exactly. Thanks.
