One thing you remarked on is something I disagree with.I never,ever show disdain for any quilt,be it partly done,finished or never done.
None of us knows the quilters story & why should we care.That quilter started a quilt just like we all do & for some reason, it's not done? Why would that be my business?
I call myself a quilt top maker.Those going to be given away are done by a LA quilter.Those staying home will get done when it happens :) DH prefers sleeping under a comforter,so no rush.
