Labtechkey, don't you listen to all these non-believers. The Quilt Police do exist. They come in the night and knock on your dream door (usually after you've made some insignificant error in a project). As you ponder whether or not to get up and rip out the minor error, the quilt police hover over your bed and chant "rip it now, rip it now, rip it now...."
Shame on you ladies for not being truthful to our "newbie". I've always counted the Quilting Board as a place where I could get good, honest feedback - no matter how much it may hurt.
Excuse me, I leaving now, going into my closet and pray for each of you.
I love you all and I know you'll do better in the future.

They are self elected and are to be ignored. LOL

I met a 'Quilt Police Officer' once. I love foundation piecing and was looking at FQ at my LQS. After I had picked out several FQ and some Jelly Rolls I went to pay for them. The woman who was waiting on me asked me what I was going to use them for. When I told her I was doing foundation piecing for a quilt, she made this big sigh and said that was not real quilting, but cheating. After stopping myself from saying something I shouldn't, I said, "Oh well, then I guess I won't be needing this stuff" and turned around and walked out. By the way, she had already rung everything up, the total was a little over $200.00.

The quilt museum in Lincoln,NE has some beautiful quilts.

But they also have others that look like they were made by someone full of hate, torn almost apart in shreds by wild dogs, left out in the rain for a month, grew uglier by the minute, stained all over with mud and worse and then sold for millions of dollars to people who have way too much money and way too little sense!

But others are fine examples of craftsmanship. You can see which way I lean but I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just wonder what the 'quilt police" would say. They would probably have heart attacks! :roll:

They are the same people who feel the need to point out that we are too fat, or that our shoes don't go with your outfit. They are righteous, overzealous, busybodies who miss a certain social filter and a certain amount of kindness. They generally appoint themselves.

Couldn't have said it better myself :)

I was at a quilt show, and one of the quilts hanging was done by a 90 yr. old. Machine pieced ( all the points were beautiful), and it was hand quilted by her. Her quilt was told that even though it looked good her colors didn't really go with the pattern. This quilter has been in magazines, and had won many other awards. Found out later, that this judge didn't like earth tones in a quilt, and if those were your colors she found something wrong with it no matter what. Now I would call that judge the Quilting Police. That isn't helpful to anybody.
