Also, I do not pre-wash (oh the humanity), I press with steam (how uncouth) and I have been known to machine-stitch the binding (faints from the horror). But the quilt police haven't been able to catch up with me yet!
The most controversial thing to me? Not having enough time to quilt as much as I would like!

As for most controversial subject, I think it would be: how much quilting is too much? But I believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. OK, I'll stop quoting people now....

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Funny huh?

Another we will have to agree to disagree.

No one has mentioned the "stash" issue. I personally don't believe you're a "bad" person because you have a large stash of fabric and quilting supplies but some try to make you feel that way.
