quilt used as moving blanket
I was helping (with pay) a retired couple unpack from their recent move. They had to move a metal bed and the husband told his wife to get a quilt to put under it. They moved things they no longer want and gave me a few things. In conversation, I mentioned that I quilt and it is an art. She showed me a dresden plate her Mom made for her, that was kept in the closet. While moving a metal bed he asked her to get a quilt so it won't scratch their floor. To my horror, they put a 9 patch that was hand quilted under the bed to push the bed through the house.
