I love some of the replies posted here--especially the hunting with bow and arrow, altho I know people who do that. I have an SIL who is the opposite. She understands the time and effort it takes to make a quilt and considers them 'too good to use', 'heirlooms to be kept for future generations'. I keep telling her I'd rather they were loved and used until they are tattered and worn. Then they are heirlooms.
