Think what you like, but quilts are specifically listed as covered under the law, as are all entities that make them...individuals included. You are welcome to your opinion, but that does not change the facts. And unlike the copyright laws, this one is quite explicit.

Formaldehyde is still used as a finish in fabric manufacturing, quilting fabric included. There's no "used to" about it.
