Same here and am always impressed with the amount of work that went into it whether by hand or machine. I despise quilt police. Spent the last 2 weeks with my brother and his wife. She had a friend who was looking at an older quilt that belonged her mother made for her when she turned 13 as she did for all her girls when they turned 13. I saw the beauty and the love that went into it. Her friend (?) pointed out ?flaws?. I told her those were her mother's signature imprints of love. ALso told my sister-in-law not to allow quilt police in her home again. Rudeee!!!
