    Look what great personality, color and warmth it adds to the room and tile floor!
    It is scrappy, little $$ involved, and may fit the budget better than buying a rug.
    It can be thrown into the washing machine. I can't do that with my large area rugs.
    I wouldn't do this with a quilt I'd invested too much money or too many hours on, but a scrappy in an area that's not a main traffic area in my home...I think I'd consider it!
    That is how I feel.I can throw it in the washing machine when it gets dirty and I did not spent money to buy a rug plus I enjoy seeing it every day !

    That is too pretty to be walking on, hang it on a wall or a bed.

    OMG, I cannot even conceive of walking on a quilt, but it adds great decor to your room! Do with it as you please! You can enjoy it now instead of it folded away somewhere in a closet for 50 years.

    Really like your quilt and sitting area. But wouldn't want anyone walking on it.

    Fotoula, I understand and won't fuss at you. My son brought a silk Persian type rug for me. I wore it on my shoulders, put it on the piano like a scarf and then on the wall, everything but on the floor. He finally convinced me that the rug would survive feet. Now I have it either in front of my chair or next to my bed. I enjoy the appearance and the feel of the rug everyday.

    Great idea,better to use it even if it's on the clean floor than have it in a closet... Beautifull.
