Personally, I can't see the beauty in this quilt. Just my opinion. I am sure the creator is quite talented, however, it was a strange way to bring attention to homeless women and children and I find it inappropriate for a quilt show and question why they would allow such a showing with out presenting it with the option of to see or not to see.
Maybe it would have been better received if it had been auctioned off and the proceeds presented to a homeless shelter to actually help the homeless. Talk is just that.....without action. I am sure quite a lot of people would probably like it and bid on it.
