These cheap/import quilts are fine for those who want to use them & toss them ... but it STILL bothers me when people call them "hand made" or "hand quilted" ... or question why REAL quilts made by REAL quilters cost more $$$.
I remember when I had first started quilting 20+ yrs ago, we were on vacation in the Ozark mountains and I was SO EXCITED to see shops advertise "HAND MADE QUILTS". We stopped to look and I still remember my utter & total disappointment to see they were all made in CHINA - NOT in the Ozarks!! This was back in the 80's - and they were poorly made then too. Some things never change !!
