Nope, I am the quilter because I put all those hundreds of little pieces together and make a beautiful quilt and all the credit goes to me, period! The LAQ, is just that and is not a quilter, I pay her and it ends there. Having said all that, I am also a LAQ and I will take no credit for putting the three pieces together, I am paid for that. No one should take a credit on a quilt you pieced together. The credit could never be equal.
Now if I painted a beautiful canvas and took it to the framers to frame, is he entitled to credit on my masterpiece? Of course not. IMHO
