Totally agree with Easypeezy and her DH! What would we call my grandmothers, DWR, made in the 1930's(during the depression), completely hand sewn quilts?
My choice of words: heirloom, irreplaceable, blanket of love, comfort quilt, Work of Art.
My grandma has been gone 39 years, I don't see scrappy, I feel the legacy of her love.
If people want to snivel over a word or wording, they are missing the point of a quilt. JMHO.

Spellcheck and now Auto-correct, too. I try to assume that one of them is at fault, but I know that often it is not technology, rather it is folks either not knowing the correct spelling or not editing their own writing. And since I am not immune to that sometimes, I try not to let it get to me. I am still a work-in-progress.

I guess I have a very thick skin, because I really do not care what others think of me or my work. I am more than happy with what I am able to produce. I have spent hundred on one quilt and zip on another. Both are beautiful (in my eyes)!

I saw an ad for a "red healer" dog for sale. That would be one valuable dog.

I agree with all of you. But for maviskw, I find when I'm typing on here sometimes it won't get all the letters so looks like I don't know how to spell. I do - but I have found, if I type slow it will pick up all the keys I strike. But then maybe it's my I-net. I've done several scrappy quilts; or quilts made from 'leftovers'. I think they (scrappy quilts) are gorgeous and are only limited by the imagination of the creator.

I have always loved scrappy quilts. I thought at one time that I would get over this "quilting phase" but I still here. I refer to them as multi fabric quilts rather than scrappy quilts. Multi fabric sounds a little more intentional and planned and not just something that you grabbed out of your scrap bin. If I want red in a quilt, I always use at least six reds or more!

My personal annoyance is SELVAGE (Noun -the edge of woven fabric finished so as to prevent raveling, often in a narrow tape effect, different from the body of the fabric v. SALVAGE (Verb - to save goods from damage or destruction, especially from a ship that has sunk or been)
