I think that person is rude. If you 'put' it together, hand pieced 2" blocks together or picked the cotton and made the fabric - IT DOESN'T MATTER - you made a quilt. I am thrilled when a person has put 2 pieces of fabric together and made a placemat and thrilled when they have hand sewn a quilt. That person has taken their time and created something. The level of experience, skills, detail is always different, but, their work should always be appreciated. Not to say a person can not offer guidance, tips or constructive criticism - but it does not have to be mean. And, BTW - one of my daughter's favorite 'quilts' was a baby quilt I made for her 33 years ago. It is a panel of a unicorn frolicing in the hills under a rainbow. I echo stitched the various things and double bordered it. She took it with her to college!
