From the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (as amended in 1984):
Textile fiber products completely made in the United States, of materials made in the United States, must be labeled using the phrase "Made in the U.S.A." or some equivalent.
Textile fiber products made in the United States, in whole or in part, of imported materials, must be labeled to show this: "Made in USA of imported fabric," or "Knitted in USA of imported yarn."

I am all for "Made in America," but we have to remember that as quilters, we are connected internationally. Those quilters in other countries buy fabric and notions just like us. I think it unfair that we exclude international quilters by saying we should only buy USA made. What if they decided not to buy American made? Where would we be, then?
I believe that one of our members said it best. If we buy it and create it, then it is technically Made in the USA.
