I'd say there are a blue zillion folks out there who still do not know what machine quilting really is. They envision a $39 Walmart quilt, not the beauties created here.

art quilts vs. traditional quilts.
i even heard people argue at the quilt show in PA that art quilts shouldn't be allowed into the show because they aren't really quilts.
then the next big one is computer quilting vs machine free motion quilting.
many people want computer quilting to be a different category so it doesn't compete against all hand guided free motion quilting.

Can't say I've ever heard any of the two groups ever debate about what should be or not regarding wash or not wash...about fabrics....etc.
But than again I've only been in one over a year and the other one 9 months so perhaps haven't gotten to know them well enough yet.
As for "quilt police" I tell them around here that I live to annoy the quilt police. LOL

I think the hottest topic has been "wash, don't wash" for the last couple of months. Copyright rears its ugly head periodically.

When I read your question, the first thing that popped into my head was the "art quilt vs traditional quilt" debate. So glad there are no quilt police so we all get to make up our own minds and have our own preferences.
