I go home so depressed because my quilts are just bed quilts - not wall quilts or whatever they call them.
But your quilts get used! I really enjoyed the show but do wonder how many of the show quilts are used on the bed or sofa. I sent a quilt to an aunt who is going through chemo & know she will use it if needed. Brought a quilt with me to MI for an uncle who had a stroke 1 1/2 yrs ago & is still recovering. Just the Amazing Grace panel + borders so it covers in a chair. My aunt thought it should hang on the wall & I told her it had to be used. That is what all my quilts are for, I can make more.
