There are those who think quilt panels are cheaters too. I've always thought that if a quilt panel introduced someone to quilting, it was okay. I agree with the poster who says "there are no police." It's the most creative feeling in the world to free oneself from what the "quiltzillas" think must be done. I read that when Faith Ringgold started quilting, the know-it-alls said to her that she really wasn't quilting. Her work sits in museums today and sells for thousands of dollars. :lol:
