I'm sorry, ckcowl, I'm not picking on you. But I have to say, when a quilter gives a handmade quilt to a loved one and states that she hopes the quilt gets "used", I have a hard time with people who think that means tossing it over a wood pile instead of putting it on the bed, where most people usually put blankets and quilts. I don't think that's ignorant; I think it's downright disrespectful. And seriously, wouldn't a tarp be more efficient and water repellent anyway??
