I definitely use mine!

nice post ;-)

I made one many years ago that was used on our couch for pretty much the entire time my kids were growing up. Eventually, it became too worn to use. I put it away and when we lost our precious beagle that my kids grew up with, we wrapped him in that quilt to bury him. I recently found all the scraps and made a very small quilt and put a picture of my kids with their beagle on it. All the now-grown kids have to do is see that fabric and they remember. This is a link to a previous post about it..... http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t158913.html

Yes... Use them! There will always be a pattern or fabric in the future you will like better!

All that I make and give away I want to be used!!!! They are made to be loved!!!

I use many of mine and many I don't. I can't imagine not using any of them!

I do not make art quilts,I make functional quilts.I use them all the time.I put them on the bed, on the couch,all over the place.If they get used and it faded it means many happy times were had around.My dogs make an occasional claw hole and then I patch it.The patch reminds me of my dog.When they are beyond repair I make another knowing it will be used and loved.My grands have quilts here and at home,flowing from one house to another.I make them for using and enjoying.Again not art quilts.They do not break apart easily and we use the heck out of them.

Me too! I also have quilts covering my couch & chair in the living room to protect the furniture from little claws and fur.

Yep, what everyone else said............Use them! Or gift them! I have gifted most of my quits . Hope they are used. Don't have enough closet space to store them anyway. If something gets spilt on one, wash it! Never had a seam split from laying on one, but if it did, fix it! If it wears out, make a new one!

Exactly. If it's just going to sit in a closet and collect dust why not just stick the fabric in there and call it good?
