Art is art!
It might be a little bitty piece of art, but no one has the right to tell you what size you have to make in order to qualify as a quilter.
Some people are just so rude, but that is only because their moms didn't teach them to appreciate differences in abilities, tastes, desires - - individuals, in other words.
It seems the older we get sometimes, the more fearful we become of people who don't do things the way we do - - silly humans! Life is more important than that.
Congratulations on all your beautiful little quilts <wave>
