I call it the new primitive. I actually think there is a market for it. If she is happy it doesn't matter. Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe great beach quilts? I personallyy like the homey dorky look but am too precise myself to make quilts like that. I bet the lady has more fun quilting then I do. My new DIL's mother quilts and makes these wonky odd quilts with all kinds of recycled fabrics and ties them. She was always so critical of herself. I love the new primitive look and wished I could quilt like that. I gave her my Gwen Marston Liberated Quilting book to let her know she is not the only one.
