When we were loading up to go watch fireworks on the Fourth of July my daughter grabbed up a quilt her husband's grandmother had made for them. I was at first appalled - USING this awesome gift of love from a master quilter????? How dare they? Then I thought ... hmmm... using a gift of love? How awesome. The quilt is a T-shirt one which honors my SIL's Marine Corps years that coincided with my daughter's college years while they lived in what we called "The Wilderness of Virginia". (Sorry VA people - they were a long way from home!)
I've read on here that we don't want our quilts given to the dogs (unless we made them for dogs) and we don't want them stuck on a shelf in a closet. So what do you think about in the back of a pickup on the 4th of July?

The boys are playing with a cold pack that was in the ice chest.

If it gets used with love that's what counts. It is my belief that as long as the quilt is taken care of and not left to collect dirt and insects in the back of the truck it makes no difference if it is used to cover a bed or the bed of a pickup.

In the winter it's been on their bed. During the summer it's been in their bedroom on a quilt rack I gave my daughter for Christmas. The truck is my SIL's baby and it's new, clean, and definately dirt and bug free. :) (Except for the two little boy bugs dancing around back there.) Note that they are shoeless.
It just surprised me that she'd grab that, but ... it's sure part of their lives and that's what I'd want for one of mine.
