So my question is - how do you feel about mass made quilts passing as hand made? Knowing most people that don't quilt could never tell the difference.
My kids and grandchildren want a quilt made with my own two hands...something made with love, blood (most have at least one drop of my blood from a pricked finger hidden somewhere in the quilt), and my time. It may not be as pretty, or quite as perfect in construction, but it's made by me and won't fall apart any time soon! I use the best fabric and threads I can possibly afford. One of my daughters said it's the "glitches" that give the quilts character. She loves the ones I've made so far. They all do. And the glitches are noticeable only by me.
