I like that people are showing more interest in quilting again; but am personally a huge fan of traditional blocks. I do admire the artistic quilts at the shows; but have no desire to make one. To me, some are even over quilted to the point that they are stiff.
I commend the quilters who still do it by hand..they deserve a huge round of applause for their devotion to the craft.
Please understand that I do not wish to offend anyone, this is just my personal opinion.
