    My only question is ..Why are you washing the quilts? I would be making him do it ( under supervision of course).

    I make quilts that are meant to be used.

    I sincerely understand that you enjoy showing your quilts like works of art and that these were probably not the quilts that were made to be used and abused. I have two teenage son's and understand where you are coming from. I hope that they were not damaged and that you can show them again soon. I can't tell you how many times I had to show the child what quilts and blankets he can use and what ones are like stories and masterpieces that will cause permanent grounding if he touches.

    I'm sorry to hear that. We went camping this week and everyone slept with their quilts. They don't stay home. Get used all the time. I love it.
