What do you think is the most controversial subject in quilting?

Miriam.. I agree with your statement to a point.
HEATED controversy just spins topics off their main point. I've never understood WHY someone thinks that being the LOUDEST or most NASTY wins any debate. It just makes the person who's communicating in an angry mode lose their credibility in the conversation IMO.

This has been a fun thread to read. You all are insightful!
I think the wash/don't wash comes up all the time.
This one had me baffled:
I asked once when is a quilt a quilt. This was one of my first topics because I was researching this wonderful craft of quilting and saw so many types of quilts made up of so many mediums. I got confused because some folks referred to landscape quilts as simply art. No "quilt" word in the description when clearly the item in discussion was sewn, layered, quilted, had a binding, but had no geometric pieces in it. Seems like the lack of the last thing mentioned disqualified it from being a quilt.
I think the hoopla and oohing and awing over the art quilts gets the feathers of geometric quilters ruffled. This brings on heated words of what is really a quilt and what is not.
Just sayin.......

This is a funny topic. I don't see a lot of controversial subjects here. We just start discussions. I love to read the pros and cons of different subjects. I never washed my fabric, but I do now. I never used starch, but I do now. I have learned so much from the discussions on this board. I hope that they continue.

What you require, I think, is someone who is wanting/willing to be your FWS leader ... to get approval from the QB moderator(s) and to maintain FWS posts ... so you can get a startup as we did.
