I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone say they were afraid their quilts might be mistaken for factory made imports. For me, the more precise and accurate mine are, the happier I am with them. I have no worry at all that anything leaving my studio will ever be mistaken for mass produced no matter how close it comes to the ideal. My guess is that master quilters aren't bothered by that worry either.
