Such a nice quilt! I share your opinion about quilts and sometimes, when new parents tell me that the baby quilt I made for their new baby is on the wall, I cringe. That is not why I made it. i wanted it to be used, not on the wall. I mean no disrespect, but cannot understand that, nor canI understand the joy of making a quilt just to enter in shows and see how much money you can win. I know it gives some people happiness, but it is not my cup of tea. I love sleeping under quilts and do so whenever the weather cooperates.
