I have mixed feelings about it. I like some of the quilts. Others make me wonder why the designer thought it was a good idea. Some seem like sloppy piecing to me...just odds and ends sewn together. There doesn't seem to be any artistry or skill involved in the making. On the other hand, when people are pressed for time because of young children, work, or school, it is a creative outlet that they can enjoy without stressing over the details involved in traditional piecing. Like so many other creative endeavors, to each his own.
