I know what you mean. I shop thrift stores for shirts and have had people give me weird looks when I tell them I'm going to cut them up to make quilts. Once a lady said that a certain shirt was too pretty to cut up. What!! It's from a thrift store already. I have kept a couple for myself though.

I'm a "sane," (as opposed to insanity doing the same thing over and expecting different results as no comforter is ever the same!)
"loose thread"
"cut up"
piece-making my way thru UFO's and a mountain of stash
"designing woman" fabricating hugs and love, one creative thought at a time!
Can't be confined by a simple definition!
Except........I love being a bonafied certifiable QUILTER! And proud of it!

When the men I know are in doubt about quilting .... I tell them it is fextremely fine woodworking only using fabric ... and is easier to store and us, comes in a variety of styles and sizes, and is fun. Somehow they 'get it.'
