I guess I think that art quilts should be more like wall hangings.. I sure wouldn't want to cuddle up in something so heavily quilted and covered with all sorts of imbellishments! I make traditional quilts, mostly scrap quilts and have pretty much decided to not bother entering them in shows... As long as the judges want to see the art quilts, none of the pieced traditional quilts even get a second look. That's okay, I'm still cozy and so is my family.
