The answer is quite simple, quilts are precious to us, and you can use a quilt that you consider less than beautiful, in all kinds of ways that you would never use one of your prize quilts. The ugly quilt can go on picnics, wrap up your pets, or be taken to the hospital to cheer up a loved one. Soon the ugly quilt may hold more precious memories than your beautiful quilts.
