when i hear talk of this it always makes me think of the quilts of Gee's Bend.
these quilts break many of the quilting rules and many quilters do not see the appeal of them yet the art community loves them and they sell for thousand of dollars for small quilts.
so, just remember that if a quilt doesn't fit the traditional standards of quilting doesn't mean it isn't a prized piece of art.
there's a place for all artists in our society and if quilters don't value your work reach out to the other art communities such as fiber artists which tend to break all the rules too.
