I was rudely told those are not quilts, I was crushed because as I got better making 9 patchs & the more easier basic cuts [w/o any rulers] I was pretty darn proud of myself. I was raised by parents that taught me not to waste anything and I continue w/ that thought. I don't make my quilts to be judged, they are made w/ love and unless others are lying to me they have been appreciated over the years. Yes sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to afford nothing but the best but this is a hobby for me & I love the hunt.
