My sister-in-law always told me to never buy one of those store bought hand made quilts because they likely were made by women in China who had to sell their skills far too cheaply. I suspect it now goes far beyond China to other Asian or third world countries.

With her it was a matter of principle and ethics between the world's community of quilters. I guess I just inherited my opinion from her. I would not think of buying a hand made quilt from a large commercial store like a Kohl's or Walmart for their very low prices. I (we) know the true value of the work.
