I don't want to use them on a bed and risk wearing them out, but I also don't want to keep them hidden away in storage.

It's an interesting story too. My great great grandma was quite poor. My great grandma, her daughter, pretended to have paying customers for these crocheted bedspreads, which she was actually paying for herself, as a way to get her mom to take the money. She would have refused payment on a bedspread for her own grandchildren.
