Yes, I sleep under my quilts. There are few that do not get used regularly - and then only during the hot summer! :lol:

Most of the bed size quilts I have made have gone to family...and they all use them. I have some smaller throw sized quilts that I use on the couch, or when guests come for extra on the futon. I have fabric and a pattern for a quilt for our bed in my quilt room, but it's been sitting there for months, untouched. Maybe after the 1st of the year......but that's what I've been saying for over a year!!! :P

DH and I both have dust mite allergies that require all bedding to be washed weekly. I wash our bed quilt every week in cold water and mild soap and once a month in warm. Our old quilt lasted 25 years before replacing. The one I made several years ago has lots of red and navy, so it might need replacing much sooner.
I've tried other kinds of blankets, but DH likes quilts. I guess I'm more selfish than some of you-- the first quilt I made was for me!

In AZ I use the quilt I made for my folks for their 50th anniversary in 1988 - queen size. In CT, my 1st quilt is on the bed in my sewing room (under piles of 'stuff') - I made it for my daughter in 1972, one is on the guest room bed
- queen. Others are on walls, a rocking chair in a bedroom, in the TV room and draped on a love seat in living room. All the rest have been given to my son and daughter and many friends as wedding and baby gifts.
The lap size ones have been washed in home machines. The full sized one (my DD's - the first one I made) has a white background, and it has been washed in my home machine many times with no problem - dried too. The queens have not been washed. Oh dear, what an awful admission!

we have too many in my house, and my kids have too many also, but we use them, and wash them lots. i tell the kids, if you wear them, out, i'll make you another. i'm going to start giving some to charity. and i make harder ones all the times. am going to start making wall hangings to decrease closet storage needs.
