If my opinion differs from yours, who's right ????
Some won't tell the truth thinking they are sparing your feelings because it's the polite thing to do.
Some respond to everything just to respond.
Some say it doesn't matter if there's a mistake.
.
Some say a mistake when found should pointed out and fixed.
It seems to me that many opinions are based on personal feelings, personal choice of colors, quilt type preferences (traditional, modern, art types, applique, made to be judged, quilting expertise, utilitarian, etc.) If my opinion is asked I'll give an honest answer but, only if I'm asked. And my opinion will be based on my personal choices which may or may not be a valid reason for listening to me. If it was a show quilt that was meant to be judged and I saw a mistake I would probably PM the owner and ask if it was intentional. For me, the place to give encouragemen is more in re to the process of piecing and quilting where experiences you may have had might help another. I, also, agree with others that we all are well aware of our mistakes and, before posting an inquiry as to whether to fix it or not, we know the answer and are only looking for affirmation on our decision.
