Yes, Yes you are, but we all got something we don't like. I don't see the point in FMQ and putting squigglies all over a perfectly good quilt. Supposedly that makes me a snob, so Hey, join the club!!

I love crumb quilts and scrappy quilts. Art quilts are not my thing at all. They are lovely I appreciate the talent and work involved but not for me. To each their own, no right or wrong. Enjoy the quilting you like to do. For me it's all about my passion and fun. Happy quilting:)

What makes you think that everyone should like exactly the same things and if they don't, something or someone is wrong? And why should you care whether you like or dislike something different than other people? We are all individuals with differing tastes.

I saw a lady on Simply Quilts that pieced tiny bits of the same colors & hues together and just kept doing it until she had about a fat eighth size piece. Then she used those fat eighths to make a small wallhanging. The demo piece she showed was a sunflower so she had used greens, browns, yellows and some off-white. It looked really cool when she was finished. I suppose you could do the same thing with leaders & enders but I'd have to be really, really bored to sit and purposely sew all those itty bitty pieces together just to cut them up for a mosaic looking wallhanging but if you really wanted to make use of every scrap and prove how thrifty you can be--crumbs definitely prove it.
