The Quilt Police are self-appointed judges of all things quilting... no particular education or experience necessary. I've found the best way to turn them off is to answer them with something like "Well... that's surely ONE way....." (with a smile and a nod). That drives them bonkers, because there's no answer that would extricate them from the situation they've created. It's always their way or the highway. <G> Oh, well....
