I did the same thing with a baby quilt I made for my DS and DIL...It was a quilt made from my GS's first year clothes. I struggled for a long time with it and was so proud of myself on the way it turned out...Anyway, they said they were afraid they wouldn't get it back if I put it in a show.....It's on the GS's bed. which in the long run is what I made it for....I've never made a quilt that I thought was good enough for a show except that one....oh well....
