.........the words are "Quilt Police" or "quilt police"
either caps or lower case.......

:wink:

Tee hee hee...I tell people that ALL THE TIME when they say "Can I do this?" I say:

"There ARE no quilt police!!!" :D

I like my quilt police, they live in my own mind, and make me find ways to improve, mine are here to stay!

The words don't bother me. They are in fact, just words.

Don"t most of us take it as a joke? I know I do.

What is this...Quilt Police or quilt police???? Let them come to my door....love serving a cup of coffee or bar to the person in "blue/white".

"Don't tell me what I can and cannot do" J. Locke

I hate being told what to do. That's how one of my quilts is named "You can't put orange with that"..of course there's plenty of orange in it.

Oh, that is who they are.....I love breaking the rules just to see what the "outcome" (fine) will be like!

Yup, mine are the only ones I listen to!

So do I :D

Why?

You may not agree with my choice of color or fabric. If it takes my fancy its what I will use.

I have always been my worse critic and that prbably won't change. I would never dream of judging anything anyone else does.

I think the fun and the creativity is when you break all the rules of quilting . I'm working on 4 quilts now that if the quilt police seen them I would be put away for life with no parole. LOL, Besides, I'm never going to win any awards for my quilts so why not do them the way I like. All my quilts are to be used and to be enjoyed.

Haha! My quilt police is my older sister, who has never quilted at all! :)

ME, too!

Same with mine! They are my own and I need them to challenge me.

Just call me a born rebel, and an independent sort. Reminds me of that song "I did it my way".

There are no quilt police here. Only in our own minds.

I never bothered to read the orginal thread Quilt police, there aren't any. :shock:

No such thing as Quilt Police! Quilting is our hobby and meant to be stress-free. Of course there are certain things you should do, but hey, have a good time! If we stress over stuff, it's no fun anymore, right?

They are in my mind to guide me to the best way something will look when it is finished. And I, too, usually don't do anything I am ordered to do. March to the beat of my own drum.

Quilt police never bother me. Give them a doughnut and away they go.
Truly, I never worry what someone else thinks. I make my patterns when I see the fabric. Delexia has it perks.
Color choice is yours to make. My daughter wanted her quilt primary colors with orange sashing and borders.
I followed her plan, everyone that sees her quilt wants it.
PS. If a burglar was to break in her room I am sure the bright colors would scare him off. (HA HA)

would love to see a picture!

Ditto!

That is why there is so many different fabrics to choose from, everybody has different tastes and wouldn't it be a horriable thing if everybody liked the same colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why get rid of the imaginary? like the monsters under our bed,or buggy man, each have their reasons to be there in our inagination. They teach us to be better, be patient with others still believing in the impossible. They can only hurt you if you let them.

I love my quilt police. They are the only ones I'm absolutely sure I know better than!!!!

Every year at the Ocean Shores Quilt Show in washington state there is a booth that gives out the "There are no Quilt Police" pins. I grab one avery year and always wind up giving it away to someone who admires it. I just happen to still have last years pin Rebecca if you are interested in it. Call me and I will mail it to you. I will send # in private message.

It will be up for grabs if Rebecca isn't interested. And of course next year I will grab a few just in case :wink:

Ahhhh...so sad I won't get to hear that quote again, except in reruns!

I would love to have one of those quilt police pens if you have any extra that nobody wants. Just let me know and I will be glad to send you the postage for it. Thanks

only words...I laugh.

Most experienced quilters piece how they like and beginners do like to learn the proper way to piece a pattern. However, for those entering quilts in competitions, quilt police or judge, must be a consideration in whether you let a somewhat uneven seam stay in. . .

Are they, like, gonna rat on us? then to whom?...

Unfortunately, eliminating the words won't eliminate the perpetrators. What we need to eliminate is the critical spirit of the quilt police types. That's what's so neat about this board - the people are so helpful and so supported. I love it!

Do you mean eliminate the term "quilt police"?? Why? I think it is funny lol. Anyway, I loved the comment...give them a doughnut and they will go away...I say Ignore them, eat the doughnut yourself and keep quilting

I wouldn't call that a "quilt police," I'd call it a QUILT GUARDIAN ANGEL. I'd like one of those.
