I would like to give the older man the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he has never watched a modern day quilter. Maybe he is remembering back in the old days when they did use scraps because for many that was all they had available. They did do alot piecing by hand. And last but not least....remember he is an older guy. Not saying he should have run your quilt down like he did but maybe there was a reason for him. Just saying! You keep right on quilting! Your quilt is very pretty from my point of view.
