Both sides are entrenched and it's not a comfortable place to be. I'm only speaking for myself, mind you. I am singed by the taint of embarrassment and heartsick in the face of everyone's behavior, including my own.
To continue to use my work when one is so offended by it is an offense in itself.
To decry my work and the quilt, but to still keep my blocks for personal and institutional gain is convoluted.
The quilt is not what they envisioned or wanted, but they will still use it for their purpose even though as a result of all the ill will I can't stand for it to be used when there are other options.
To point by point list all my wrongdoing, but to keep my blocks because at one point in time I volunteered them in the spirit and benevolence of giving is an interesting point of debate at best.
I never signed my name in blood, but I am feeling like I sold my soul to the devil when I agreed to participate.
