Let me post a positive story about poor quilting. My uncle by marriage asked me to repair a quilt his mother had made him years ago. He couldn't use it anymore due to the fraying of some of the seams. The dear lady loved to make quilts, but her work was very imprecise and her hand quilted stitches very uneven. The local quilt guild refused to let her work on their group quilts, but my uncle loved that quilt that had been lovingly created by his mother just for him. I used my silk thread I use for applique so I could match each color, and I painstakingly repaired each frayed seam. I knew his mother, and she was the sweetest lady with a huge heart. I'm glad her son sees the love, not the flaws.
