I liked the commercial. It is a well loved and used quilt. Some some people make quilts to look at and some to use. Clearly this one was meant to be used. If you are concerned about a quilt's treatment but want one for picnics, etc, buy a cheaply made one in a store and save your handmade ones for home and family. Take care.

I will have to watch for it!

I loved the commercial! It made me feel like the quilt was important to the whole family!

Maybe Maytag should have put a disclaimer that said "No quilts were actually harmed during this commercial". Knowing how they shoot commercials, I doubt one was 'hurt'.

I've seen that commercial and thought -- that quilt is sure loved by that family. I think many of us, myself included, think that every quilt has to be this beautiful piece of art. Whether it's the block pattern or the machine quilting that makes us feel that way, not every quilt is a showpiece. Some are just meant to drag around and be loved and this commercial shows just that. It's a simple squares quilt not some fancy thing. I don't feel sad to see it dragged around. Makes me smile. Even my husband commented on it and agreed.

Has any one thought of contacting the product and letting them know how sorry you feel about the quilt? I didn`t see it yet!

(I think the commercial is selling detergent, but I'm not sure.:) Mom puts it back into the car, but when the car drives away the quilt is hanging outside under the hatchback door! My husband even said, "Poor quilt!" when he saw that. At least the "poor quilt" was loved and being used as it was intended.

That commercial is for Maytag, and I just love it. You can find it on Food Network

I haven't seen that one, but I did see an episode of Auction Hunters (think that's the name). It's the two guys who go to auctions of storage units. Well, the other day they dragged out a box and started taking out what was in a box. It was a motorcycle engine -- WRAPPED IN A QUILT!!!!!!! My eyeballs popped out of my head!!! They gave no thought to the qult, but were very excited with the engine!!! It wouldn't surprise me if they simply threw away the quilt!!! I can't believe ANYONE would take a beautiful quilt and use it to wrap up a motor!!!!! :shock: :shock: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: SHAME ON THEM!!!!! :evil:

As soon as that commercial comes on, my daughter says " Don't say a word, we all know that they are disrespectful to the quilt". I just think that they could have used a blanket or something else.
