I agree, Madam; there is a certain art and skill to making quilts, a level of craftsmanship that is a gift from God.

It has suddenly occurred to me I have been using the wrong word; perhaps "quilts" is not the word. I guess I am thinking more of "downers" or "comforters," those lumpy bed-coverings that one buys at discount stores because they "look pretty."

Well, my thoughts:

Quilts usually are home-made and beautiful. Many families hand down quilts though generations. I have a few.

Downers and comforters, you say?

No comparison, shopping in discount stores. None, whatsoever.

Those aren't quilts.
