I had that feeling when first started quilting. Then I decided they might as well be used and enjoyed as to be put away and no one ever see them nor enjoy them. I had shown our 3 granddaughters some quilts recently, one of which was a family picture quilt for my DH's 75th birthday. The youngest g.daughter grabbed a crayon from somewhere and colored on one of the pictures. I am still working on getting the crayon out without ruining the picture! if that doesn't happen, I will just laugh it off and that will be part of the "enjoying the quilt!"Mariah
