I love to design and piece tops. I can't quilt to save my soul!-Binding is okay. My main problem is I can't afford to pay up to $300 to have the tops quilted as I won't keep them but donate them.
I need to find a solution to this before I am smothered in tops! LOL

I view it as progress. My great-grandmother cut her pieces out with scissors and hand stitched everything. My grandma cut them out with scissors and used her "new fangled thing" AKA sewing machine (NOT an electric one though). My Mom used an electric sewing machine and scissors. I use a rotary cutter, a machine and a long arm (when I can). I think we are all quilters.
I think you did the right thing in going home - most people who debate that waste time and air.

Don`t know what kind of quilting bunch you were in, hope not a church one. Don`t you feel sorry for people that have to pick apart every thing? I would have been in heaven just to be able to get together and sew with friends. I would also have gotten up and left, Saying " Sorry I must be in the bunch of sewers."

True story (kind of unrelated): I was at a fabric shop when someone came in to pick up some quilts they had left there to have quilted. I don't know how much they cost, but it was an all over pattern, and it just didn't look great at all (seeing the quilts on this board has spoiled me!) and I happened to notice that at least one of those quilts was a cheater top!!
