**That is exactly how I feel. My quilting my not be that fancy or even the most beautiful, but I can say that the quilts I make and give are made 100% by me. For myself that is important. I treasure a gift that someone made for me themselves. My hope is that my children feel the same way as they grow older. My quilts my not be fancy, but having been made entirely by myself I still feel that they have the ability to become a family heirloom.
Although I do love the looks of "professional" quilted quilts, it is just not the way for me :wink:
