That's not true... depends on the quilt, depends on the webpage...
there are quilts and there are QUILTS, there are webpages and there are
WEBPAGES... size counts too when yer talking bartering.

Yoose logic is fercockt... you're comparing apples with oranges... it's
like trading cheese for steak... there's velveeta and there's
roquefort, there's ground round and there's porterhouse.

And just so happens I know a lot about quilting and a whole, whole lot
about knitting... I do both, never woulda thunk that, eh? Knitting
requires far, far more skill and knowlege than any kinda quilting, in
fact I don't think quilting requires much skill at all, it's mostly
repetitious and time consuming... only a couple paces beyond hook
rugging. I wouldn't even speak about knitting in the same room with
quilting, any good knitter can quilt well, very few quilters of any
caliber are capable of knitting... and I ain't talking two stitch
scarves with $1.49 balls of synthetic from Walmart.

I'd gladly swap a quilt for a webpage, I see no disparity... it's
merely a matter of negotiating for equal complexity and size. I think
you gotta have a way higher IQ to do webpages, any monkey with a lotta
free time can quilt.
