The old saying and story goes that a woman was given a beautiful and expensive lingerie - She kept it in her dresser for "a special occasion" - her husband buried her in it! - Use your quilts - make sure the people you give them to use them - they get better with use and age, I believe - people will cherish your gift if you insist they use them ( I have to insist, because so people are afraid to use them because of the time spent)
