I think it's fun when it's done as a "commemorative" project, but not when they are claiming that it is historical fact - that it HAPPENED. I think history is very important and don't like to see it revised to make it more interesting (or for any other reason.)
The owner of our local quilt shop did some talks in the public schools here, telling the URR quilt stories as "history", and that bothers me.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but this is important to me.
One very reputable quilt historian is Barbara Brackman. http://www.barbarabrackman.com/
