Why?
Why do you make the types of quilted pieces that you do?
I am still at the "it needs to be washable and I won't have a major fit if the quilt gets dirty" type of quilting.
(I will, though, have a fit if it is bleached, deliberately torn, or gets burn holes.)
I see some spectacular works that are meant to be looked at only. My main question is - how do you keep it "clean" when it gets so much handling to complete the project?
