Maybe.......whoever made it, did it from the heart.....Maybe they did not have the money for classes or tools to do it what some may call "right". I think it is beautiful. I don't think I could be critical of someone trying to quilt.....because they had a longing to create one. This creation is their creation, and it is beautiful. Hey...start a new fad....call it the "quilt that was hand and machine sewed, square and non squared, but made with love quilt" I think it gives it charm!
