And all quilters know that alot of work goes into a quilt, no matter if ugly or missing a few stitches here and there. I think it has something to do with growing old gracefully.
You are right. . . I do buy tops with problems; I just know to look for them so I am aware of what I am getting and how I can use them.
I have made many tops that remain unquilted. Some I will quilt. Others will not be quilted because I've just lost interest , I don't like them any more or other things are more important. That does not mean that the tops were not valuable learning tools for me. If I don't quilt them, I would be happy if someone else winds up quilting them or recycling the fabric.
