It will probably end up on a quilt ladder and be more decorative, but quilts that are heavily quilted are quite durable.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551007238143198780.post-44102213344943206742013-10-21T08:05:14.897-05:002013-10-21T08:05:14.897-05:00That is why I am thankful for the dvr, Sometimes I...That is why I am thankful for the dvr, Sometimes I have to go back and watch something again, when I am paying attention.
