I have 2 quilts I change out. I use both of them like bedspreads.

My quilts are all used. Last night there were 3 on my bed (3 over me and 2 over DH) I can't believe that at 5 this morning he was up and asking if there was another quilt in the bedroom. I sent him over to one of the other rooms. One of them is the regular "bed spread"
The ones downstairs all get used when there are people around.
I have been under one or two of them many many hours since I had my surgery last month.

all my quilts get used. we have 2 on our bed now, and 2 in the den. And those I have given away to family members also get used!

My family uses all the quilts I have made for them and I always let everyone who gets one as as gift that I want it used. I tell them use it, love it, and if need be wear it out. That way I get to make them another one.

I have a quilt on my bed at all times. In the summer we usually fold it up and set it aside when we get in bed because it is to warm. In the winter we certainly sleep under one. I have quilts everywhere in my house. Even my cat has his own quilt. The majority of my quilts have been laundered at least once. Some multiple times. The only rooms in my house without at least a wall quilt are the bathrooms.

I use a couple of mine but have one that I don't want to put on the bed because I have a cat that throws up! The ones I have given as gifts , i think, are being used. There is a baby quilt that I know of that has not been used because it had cat hairs on it. I am considering asking for it back to rewash and give to quilts for kids.

I'm sleeping under the last quilt I worked on with my MIL who was my inspiration for quilting. I love seeing my quilts being used when I visit my children. Right now one of my favorite quilts is "on the shelf" because I no longer have a double bed to put it on.

Most of my quilts are done to give away and to be used.

I just looked out and it is snowing pretty hard. I cleaned 5 inches or so off the driveway earlier. Looks like I'll need to do it again! (Manhattan, KS)

I make quilts to be used, I have four for my own bed that I alterante thru the year. My kids and grands also have quilts. In fact no one has a blanket on their beds. Its all quilts. My grandson wore out the first one, I have mended it twice and refuse to do it again. LOL So I made him a new one but he will not give the other one up. So they all like them. I have given many away as gifts and for charity. I just enjoy making them and will continue to do so as long as there is someone who wants one. Marge
