I try to explain that I intended for it to be "consumed" in my lifetime, and not left for someone who may never have known me or the person I made it ..to "consume" it possibly in the bottom of a dog bed or covering something in the garage. Once I explain it that way .. I see more of them being used.
Oh I am hearing ya girlfriend! I made my grandson an Escher-esc butterfly quilt, hand pieced, hand quilted.... The DIL hung it on the wall... I was visiting this last year and he asked to use it. I gave it to him and told him to use it up. drag it around, love it..... I would rather it be tattered to shreds than die hanging on the wall....I may have to start giving out my quilts with "regulations"
