I once read washing instructions a quilter gave to college students for whom she made quilts...after reading how detailed they were, I would have advised giving the quilt back!

I, fortunately, have never met any quilt police and hopefully never will.

As I always say to my husband "it's a free country" and we can quilt as we please.

Well, I don't pre-wash... that should get them riled up a bit.

About 30 years ago, I had a quilt that my mother-in-law had pieced together, and had it in a big quilting frame in my living room and was hand quilting it - my very first hand quilting. When lo and behold - here comes my mother-in-law and an OLD friend of hers - many hand quilted quilts in their experience. The other lady looked at it and said: Well, I don't think that you will get your toenails caught in the quilting" - so passed that quilt police inspection!!!!

I'm with TanyaL they would probably go into heart failure if they took a look at some of my blocks. I won't join our local quilt guild because apparently they are like the quilt police if it's not perfect they won't use it. My family is happy with what I make for them so that's all that matters, I am not into quilting to run to all the shows.

My local guild is a wonderful place to go. They freely pass on information and ideas. Everything is upbeat and inspirational. Especially the snacks everyone brings for breaks!

A salesperson at my LQS told me "It's your quilt isn't it?" That means I can quilt it anyway I want even if it's against the rules of the quilt police. Now I don't worry about it. Just go for it.

I never even think about em. I just do what I want to do, how I want to do it, when I want to do it, etc.! Oh, and if I'm not having fun doing it, I just quit doing it!

The Quilt Police aren't worth thinking about. I quilt for enjoyment.
