this is an arguement that will never be won... everyone has their own definition of what they consider a quilt and what is not...... so let it go..... they will still think that no matter how many times someone says something different so why worry with this..... you know how much time & effort you put in to each piece that you make so you decide.. there really are NO QUILT POLICE out there just ones who think they are...... I have my opions but they are mine...
