But I agree, I have seen some pretty quilts ruined by what some people put on the back. Would you buy a quilt from a store looking like that?
Don't get me wrong, I certainly understand about the cost issue. I just think there are better alternatives than to just slap together a mismatched hodge podge on the back.
If you don't appreciate "hodge podge" quilting, then fine, do what works for you. But to say that quilts are "ruined" by what others put on the back, and insinuate that nobody would buy it, is pretty harsh and judgemental, don't you think?
By the way, I think the word you're looking for is "dissent", not "descend".
See how it feels?
