Don't let what anyone says bring you down. The only person you have to please is you and if your happy it is no ones business UNLESS they a paying you a large amount to LA their quilt for big bucks. I love all the fancy quilting but grew up with quilts made 50-75 years ago and never saw one with the fancy stuff of today and we loved them anyway. Many back then were tied quilt and they looked and worked great. Keep on quilting and if anyu one dares complain, tell them lets see you do better, then you can show me how you didi it, other wise MYOB.
