I am with you. I quilt because it is a practical use of scrap fabrics (though I have to admit, my scraps have been replaced by new fabric pieces), I like the colors, I like the angles. "Art" quilts aren't my thing, though my quilts tend to tell a story if I have anything to say about it. The fact that the quilts shows may or may not recognize clever use of fabric colors and shapes with awards, etc ... cannot diminish the joy I get from the making of a useful, colorful, well-made quilt.
