Honestly! I do not understand people sometimes. I was told that a QAYG was not a 'real' quilt either. Go fly a kite!! I quilt in whatever manner I wish and complete whatever style of quilt I wish. They are my quilts- not theirs! And for their information, I do have a hand quilting project on the go at all times, as well as my machine quilting projects. Guess I am a more versatile quilter!! LOL.
