I had a variegated brown fabric that my Dad liked, and picked out a red and yellow to go with it, and the shop owner was skeptical because red and yellow were not in the brown. That is the closest I've come. But someday they are going to notice some of my points, which I just don't obsess over.

Well, one time at a week-long quilt retreat with multiple teachers, we were sitting at the lunch table with other quilters. One asked me what class I was taking, so I told her Diane Gaudynski's machine quilting class. She informed me that the only "real" quilt was hand quilted. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, I guess when you think your opinion should apply to other folks, that makes you a member of the quilt police?

Kathy, happy to be a quilter in a big wide world of options!

DO YOU KNOW A QUILT POLICE.... TELL YOUR STORY
I recently ran up head to head with a real live QUILT POLICE and lived to tell about it... but I was wondering if anyone else has run into some one... in a class, in your guild/ bee, in your charity quilt group, in your quilting community that acted like the quilt police.

If so share your story... how you handled it. I plan to post mine at a later time.
