I can appreciate the sentiment of the original post.
I know that I really enjoy when I visit my great nieces and I see the quilts that I made for them on the living room floor
Or if I see my quilts at their grandma's house.. then I know they using them. I too love seeing the quilts I make in Facebook pictures. On the other hand, my niece asked me to patch a quilt that her great grandmother made for her father when the dog chewed it up. Yes I fixed it but I was a little shocked that the dog was able to get ahold of such a treasure!!
I would understand if someone wanted to treat the quilts as a treasure - might actually even be flattered that they feel it is a treasure
thats a compliment
