But hanging on the wall isn't too bad, except that it's baby's quilt, not the parents'. But, I'd take it as a compliment. At least they're using it!<br /><br />Thanks for the tip about this book. I'll have to see about getting this one!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501766604865364993.post-66180414362290164712013-08-15T07:27:34.511-07:002013-08-15T07:27:34.511-07:00Ahh, to be so lucky to receive a Nifty baby quilt....Ahh, to be so lucky to receive a Nifty baby quilt.

That book looks like a must have for the collection. I so agree that it's preferable to have a quilt be used and loved to bits but hanging on the wall is much better than being in a cupboard.

I got to see it poking out of the stroller from time to time when I ran into my friend and her baby. It was bittersweet watching fade to tatters! Glad I have a photo.
