Wow. Thank you for making all of that explicit. Now I don't feel so guilty for my watercolor quilts. I remember when I made several small samples and hung them at a gallery for a quilting shop. Several people approach me for project- and after I told, they said "Yikes, no way!" Others were more understanding. Another story: I went to the farmer's marke last fall to buy lamb, and the stall keepers were selling wonderfully soft, exquisitely dyed wool. It was a bit expensive- but it was so beautifully produced and in such lovely colors tnat I bought several skeins for a friend. I felt good about that; it was lovely, and I know that it took alot to make those lovely varying colors.
