There are a thousand ways to make a quilt. Who are we to think only our way is correct? Sometimes I think critisism or the whole quilt police issue has more to do with the ugly in the person giving the critisism than the need for the quilter to be enlightened!
Everyone has different taste in color and style who is to say what is right and what is wrong? Sometimes people are working with fabric they have on hand and can't afford to trot off to the local quilt shop and buy the correct fabric, piece a top, and send it off the the long arm quilter to be finished. Not everybody is a perfectionist and do not need to be. Everyone has different challenges whether it is vision, motor skills, lack of funds or equipment, the list is endless. The only quilts we should critisize are our own.
I agree with most of the other posts on here if you can't say something nice don't say anything. If someone asks how to fix something or change something then share your knowledge freely. There is no right or wrong way to make a quilt, just alot of new fads and ideas.(mostly to make money off of us quilters!)Remember alot of the original quilts we love and oogle over were just worn out rags pieced together to keep their familys warm. :)
