Hang it without quilting! That's revolutionary! lol
I wish I had thought of that! One of my favorite tops, the only one I haven't quilted, is nicely folded waiting for me to become not so scared to machine quilt it.
I bet if I just draped it over the top of my couch no one would ever know...
As far as judgemental people, well, we all are to a point, even if it's only in our minds. Don't let it ruin your quilting life or make you feel you can't enjoy your works of art less than you do.
