Thanks for all the great comments! I was so amazed my husband said it was "beautiful"... He only says my quilts are "nice", usually. I gave him a big hug!

I don't think we'll be having a meal on it. It can be removed before a meal is served. But the kitchen table is our place of gathering, sitting and talking, so it will be nice and cozy for that.

As for covering with plastic, I don't think I would because then you lose the cozy feel of all that yummy texture.

Don't worry... we won't hurt it! I promise... :)

I agree about not putting plastic over your tablecloth - plastic just doesn't go with a quilt.

It's beautiful...I would be hesitant to use it as a table cloth too, unless I was using it as a table topper when the table was not being used.

You can use single colored placemats if you use it as a table cloth? And a small runner i the middle or 2 place mats.it works for me and my quilted table clotj

beautiful quilt, I would definitely use it for the bed!

I also think that it's too nice for a table. So pretty.

I agree with hubby-it's so gorgeous!

beautiful quilt---I use quilts on the table all the time--they wash up nice and have never been ruined

I agree with hubby....much too pretty for a table cloth.

Definitely agreeing with your husband on this one - either use on bed or display. Gorgeous quilt!
