And could I use a bedspread instead of a sheet? A bedspread would be okay.
I guess I led a sheltered life. These things were just part of household, used when needed. My grandmother crocheted like crazy, and my sister did too, as a teenager. My Christmas gift from her for the last three years have been simple wrap-up blankets for chair and couch use. (I bought her material for her alma mater so she could make one for herself and pillows for the old friends from college. She's a home-ec teacher.) The "antiques" are just used family furniture...

I make my quilts to be used and abused. Not outside, but my baby quilts have had stuff on them that defy description. They wash beautifully. but,
your quilts are now treasures, and deserve to be treated that way.
