I'm thrilled to say that a number of my quilts were used this past week for a family reunion, from covering picnic tables to throwing on the ground for supper and fireworks. There was some oohing and awing and concern that they would get dirty (heaven forbid) but I am so glad to see them used. Whether on a picnic table, the ground or wrapped around someone, that's what it is all about for me. The delicate ones I keep home but most are for general use and I love seeing them used!

All of my quilts for family are to be used. I have one heirloom quilt from my grandmother and it is never used, just kept safe. It's never been used so what is the point? I don't want my family to feel that way about my quilts. If they wear out after I'm gone then hopefully one of them will take up quilting to replace them for their kids.

I just made a string quilt for my nephew and his wife to be used as a picnic quilt. I really hope that they use it for what it is intended. Delivered it yesterday at her place of work. The receptionist there said, "A picnic quilt...put it on the ground?? I don't think so!" Thought that was funny.

Yes, I agree. I encourage people to use them. Some of my grandmothers quilts were put away and never used and no one ever saw them till she was gone. I want the ones I make to be loved and used.
What a special family reunion for you.
