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.
I have a handquilted quilt from Domestications I got for $39 for a king size. Yes, it IS hand quilted, but at least 1/2" stitches and far apart. It has come out through washings, but I got it because I liked the look, and with the dogs and cats jumping on the bed, I didn't want to ruin one I had worked so hard on. So just as cheap fabric has it's place, so do cheap quilts. Just as long as you know the difference and are making an informed decision to purchase that quilt.
