So many people have written such wise words! I don't understand a ruffle at all, but to each her own. I just have to comment on the statements about how people just don't understand the work that goes into quilts. I have had people I barely know ask me to make them a quilt. I always struggle with a way to say no that doesn't show just how ridiculous they are for asking. You know something like "Sure, and to repay the favor you can paint my house for me."
