I agree. Quality vs quantity is my theme song. I should also mention that I hand piece and hand quilt. I don't want to spend months making a quilt only to have the material start shredding when I machine wash and dry. So, it can take me up to 9 months to make a full size quilt. My expenses aren't that much when you consider it takes much less time to make a quilt using a sewing machine.
