One nice thing about a quilt or blanket is that they can be WASHED. I have blankets and beds that I rotate in use so that when I wash one batch, they have another to lie on. They love to snooze in the sun in front of the patio door in the morning and gee, they'd better be comfortable doing it!(or so they tell me) :) Yes, yes, OK they're spoiled, I admit it. :)
