I enjoy the process of handquilting more than the final product/quilt. In my quilts I see and create things like beauty, balance, contrast and uniformity, order and clearness - characters I sometimes miss in my own personality.
Some quilts I like, some not. Some I consider as art, some not. It's just my personal point of view.
I don't aim for doing art. I just do quilts.
Great comment - thankyou. (And I'm in awe of your avatar: I gave up VERY quickly with hand quilting!)
