:shock: :lol: That's too funny!!
I wonder if it would be possible to put a sleeve on the Trek quilt?? It is almost king-size though, maybe too heavy to hang? Or is there a way to hang quilts that big?

Since I am the the quilter in the family and I am a male quilter guy, I have the same problem. My wife wants to display them instead of using them. I told her on the cold winters night she should snuggle up with one while watching TV, but she said it would get them dirty. I want them to be used and enjoyed. At least my son and his family when they come over, they snuggle in them when they are relaxing and watching TV. Glenn

In the drawing, the heart is *absent* so that you can see how the quilt (in yellow) goes up thru the parts of the hanger (in brown and black.

Tell her it makes you feel like you are watching yourself with your arms around her when she snuggles in one of your quilts. Say it with "love stars" in your eyes; that'll get her!

My husband only uses my quilts is they are on our bed. I will put the one I am working on over the quilt rack and if he is cold he will grab it and cover up while in his chair. However, this is Arizona and we don't get to cold.
