Yep, I got the "I thought you were making us a Real quilt" when I made a queen size one and donated it to my ECA Club to raise money for their treasury because it was machine quilted. It raised over $800 for them. Not bad for a "not real" quilt. They won't get another one.

Susan, do not worry about it. Any manner you use to finish a quilt is just fine. If anyone complains.....just send them to me. I have a Rottweiler who will explain it.

Mind your own (expletive deleted) business. I didn't ask your opinion nor do I want it. I see no reason to be polite to these people. They are the same idiots who tried to cram their ways down your throat in home ec.

I heard this one just the other day, when i told someone, I buy some of my fabrics from Joann's and Hobby Lobby..."Don't you know their fabric is not as good as the fabric you buy from a high end quilt shop?"

I was thinking, yeah lady, I have been quilting for over 20 years, and I have been hearing that very thing for about that long! I am not stupid! I quilt for my enjoyment, and I spend what I think is a fair price for fabric.

All these comments remind me of why I don't care to belong to a guild anymore. I'm happy doing my own thing and answering to no one. Also reminds me of why I enjoy all you wonderful, supportive folks at the QB.

You didn't actually "make" the quilt unless you did every step from start to finish.

I have heard most of those..latest was don't use different types of fabric together. My response was, My quilt..will do it my way!

Quilt police think their way is the only way.

Another one that I love is, "Never use sheets for backing fabric."

Does that include buying a farm and growing the cotton yourself?
