Hi Rosy,
Love your point. I am like you I just cna't save the world of quilters so I have to just look the ohter way too. SMILE
I say if it is worth doing it is worth doing it the right way for the best results you will be happier with the finished product, and if you are sending to a quilter they will be happier too... and you will have an heirloom no matter what the pattern...
Happy Quilting to you.
