1) Oh look, how unique, I never would have thought to put those colors together. 2) You’ve only been quilting a couple of years; you shouldn’t even think of entering a quilt into a competition, even if it is just a county fair. |

#2 Bug-a-boo is "Oh you could have used some feathers here and here and here and here". Boy I like feathers, but I have a chosen not to spend my time learning how to do feathers. I make quilts to donate and they do not need that level of craftsmanship.
Quilt Police Beware! My sewing room is guarded by an attack pussy cat who will put fur on your quilts if you get to critical of my work. Tee-Hee-Hee :D Good thread. We need to support our young quilting colleagues. Quilt on! |
Quilt Police? I have never actually seen one, so they don't exist.

I would not consider an instructor the "quilt police" since you are paying her for her knowledge. there are really no set rules for quilting so you can do anything you want.

Some of the comments here reminded me of being told that my machine knitting wasn’t ‘proper’ knitting.

Three Dog Night, your quilt stash looks exactly like mine, even down to the cats.

I would like to say that I'm shocked people actually say those things. Sadly, I am unsurprised. I recently completed my first quilt. It's a lap size done with a batik jelly roll. My own mother, who has never quilted anything, saw the fabrics I was putting together and then began to make several suggestions as to what I could do differently, and what colors I should leave out. A week or so later, when it was finished, I took it to her house and showed it to her. She seemed stunned that it turned out to be pretty.

I am lucky and only associate with people that make those kinds of remarks. I am a lone wolf, quilt only at home.

I know I have said something to the effect of "putting those colors together" but it's been a compliment! I tend to not be very adventurous with color so it really is a good thing when I say it! :)
