I love the way a quilt looks on a table.
I have done the same thing when the kids still lived at home but now I leave it out all the time (no plastic these days). This is one of those made in China quilts that I got before I was sure I could pull off actually making a quilt myself (over 20 years ago). I don't feel like it would be a great loss if something happened to this one but it's a really cute log cabin in my colors so I love it. I'm the only one who knows it's a cheapie and it looks great. I say do it and enjoy.
