I love the concept that a quilt can be small enough to cover the spy glass in your door or big enough to cover a 12 story building. They can be a placemat or a 3 thousand $ wall hanging. It's all art! I just want to add some info on the 15,500 quilt. You can see a picture of it in the December 2005 Quilting Newsletter magazine, page 11. I don't know if it is archived on line or not. It is a most beautiful work of art and should be seen. This is an interesting topic. Many ideas. Why, as women, aren't we supportive of the hard work, creativity and time we all know goes into the thing we are here for. I'm sad to say I think we don't give ourselves the appropriate credit we should. I also think we would have a different opinion if this was made by a man. He would be an artist. Women just make quilts. This is not what I beleive but seems to be a thought trend after reading some opinions on this subject.
