Bicycle Hobo.....your dream quilt is very different....could not really see it in the picture you presented.
Your comments were so obtuse, in my opinion, that they are very irrelevant and just theoretical and academic and really mean nothing........your reference to Mary Fons comments about her magazine Quilty ceasing publication is just another example of something not making enough money to sustain itself having to shut down........reasons for that situation are decided in boardrooms.......
As for me, I will quilt today, tomorrow, and as long as I enjoy doing it...when it no longer excites, satisfies me, I will find something else to satisfy that yearning.........jmho
