How true.
I have known an award winning quilter. Her quilts are fantastic to look at. However, she quilts so intensely that I wouldn't want one of hers to sleep under. A wall quilt - great. A bed quilt - not so great.
If I had my druthers though, I'd use silk batting for my own quilts. Darn it but the expense involved is beyond me.
Good point though. The quilting is to showcase and add to the actual quilt. Not to showcase my skill at quilting.
