your quilt is beautiful and i would take what that man said with a grain of salt...we make quilts from the fabric of our choice...either from scraps or from material we purchase...we are the artists and the cloth is our medium...we can get our medium from all sorts of places....does a painter get their paint from unused sources or does he create from new tubes that he/she mixes for the color of their liking?..he sounds like a grumpy, old man anyway :-)
