What is a use it Quilt?

Use the Quilt or Not?

I had a questions, “What is a use it Quilt?” I mentioned this the other day and I’ve never talked about this before. My guide of which quilt to use?
I kind of grade my quilts, this yellow quilt was a gift, and this is the back of it! I made it to sleep under, use it, love it, wash and dry it.

These are the next step up quilts at my house, the hand quilted items I use  around my house. I love table toppers and have them all around. Most are machine pieced and I have hand quilted them.  But they are not washed daily and they are very much in original quality.

Then…used BUT only my me ~  “I” use it! and why? I don’t think my Great, Great Grandmother would want it in a closet, not loved and not used. PLUS, I cannot tell you the joy it gives me.
