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.
They are poorly made, I did buy one for the dogs to use on the couch. {They don't think I know they get up there when we are gone. lol!} A quilt appraiser will never let one pass as home made. They also have commercial labels.
