WOW, I can only imagine the size of those stitches. lol
Now I do have one peeve where mistreatment of a quilt bothers me: At the end of the movie "How to make an American Quilt" Winona Ryder drags that beautiful WHITE quilt through the red dirt. I think that is just thoughtless and disrespectful to all the quilters who contributed. Doesn't mean I would manhandle anyone for it.
I cringed at that one,too. Especially since I grew up in the south. That stuff just doesn't come out. Her character was pretty confused in that movie, as I recall. I'm sure that if the ladies who made it for her had explained how to treat it, she would have.
