This is really sad. I am sure the receivers (some but not all) of a quilt do not know the time, effort, thought, and money that is put into each and every quilt made by hand (I mean not by factory made). Perhaps they should be told in some way. Perhaps a tag stating the hours spent, what part is done my hand and/or machine or both. how the colors were picked along with the pattern. Some maybe not all should be known to the receiver. Also you are all so correct in how much this hurts the quilters heart when one is carelessly destroyed. What do you think?
