I agree.  It seems the really good fitting ones are always the first to go when I a new line comes out.  Sometimes the new is not better than the old.  

My thoughts at times lately have been on the subject of quilts as works of art,  not art quilts just regular quilts.  Painters sign their work, in the picture, wood workers sign their work sometimes in the design sometimes on the bottom of the piece.  When doing needle work I was encourage to stitch my name into the lower right corner of the design.  So why do quilters if they sign their work do it on the back in a label that can be removed?  Is this part of the reason it has taken so long for quilts to be  recognized as art?
