"Ignorant" meaning "not knowing," I would say yes. I don't think most people realize what they're asking; they don't mean to insult or be rude. I didn't appreciate quilts until I started making them. I thought they were just some pretty material sewn together in a cool pattern .Had no IDEA the hours and hours and hours and hours one would take, let alone the cost of fabric. I was ignorant in the technical sense. My aunt used to be an antique quilt dealer when I was young. When she would mention a quilt going for over $1000, I thought, "a thousand dollars for a BLANKET?? CRAZY!"
