That's what quilting is all about, anything other than that, then it becomes a J.O.B.!!! I've made quilts for myself, that I love, I've made quilts for others that are also loved, have also made quilts for others that have not been 'loved' and they were 'regifted', and quilts for fund raiser auctions that may bring $20 or $2000 (yeh, ok, I'm exagerating on the $2000, but a girl can dream! haha). But at the end of the day, it's MY hobby and it's what I see in my 'masterpiece' as 'perfection'. Everyone has different skills and needs and ultimately it's the happiness that quilting accomplishes for each of us, as the unique individuals that we are, that counts.
