Question 1. No! Unless you just WANT to hurt someone's feelings, there is no point to telling someone you do not like her/his quilt. I'm not good at paying compliments that are insincere, but I can and will do it if necessary.
Question 2. No! It's very satisfying to get what I think is genuine praise of my quilt(s), but, in fact, how someone else feels about it does not change how much I like it.
