Ahhh yes BUT so many utilitarian quilts are the ones that we are finding and wanting to know the 'story or history' behind them. Who made them, when .... They are the scrappy quilts, the quilts made from clothes etc. They do not have to be art quilts to have a label.
So don't underestimate the value and longevity of your works of love for family, friends etc.
