Wow. She obviously does not understand what a handmade quilt MEANS. How it is an investment of time and care, as well as materials, and it is an heirloom that generations can reflect upon and treasure.
My Auntie made quilts for my husband and me only a year or so before she died. I already had blankets. But the quilts are ART and EXPRESSION, and LOVE. Nothing a WalMart fleece throw can replicate.
