 They felt it was disrespectful to try and make money off "Bible Quilt" and other works like it without exploring who might own the familial rights to the work and who could possibly receive some of the royalties from its reproduction.They were also concerned that the mass reproduction of these unique, timeless quilts would not only damper the significance of their authorship, but muddy the important origins of their place in American history.Additionally, they felt strongly that if reproductions were going to be made, they should be produced by American quilting companies to help continually support the craft in the US.
