I do like them and the patience put in, BUT to each their own, I HATE ,HATE , HATE quilts whatever the pattern that have been [usually] quilted by machine to within an inch of their life and cannot even contemplate what goes thro the minds of those who do it, they give me the creeps and are NOT comforting at all, SO ,NO I don't think either you or I are snobs , merely exercising our taste.
