If the only quilting options were for the really intricate, detailed designs that you experienced, professional quilters do, I would never have taken up quilting!
I agree with you Jeanne. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder someone once said. I try to make my quilts attractive, cherry and bright. I hope they are still around after I am dead and buried. I did see recently a show on quilting aired on PBS. Some guy made art out of recyclable aluminum cans in the shape of quilt patterns. He didn't think it fair that his art wasn't considered a quilt. In my mind as long as there is fabric on the front and back and batting in the center, it's a quilt.
