I can get the fabric in sale, as I live on fixed income and 12-15.00 a yard I can't afford..... too bad too I want to keep my lqs in business also catch -22.

I like quilts that are

* designed by me
* start out wrong but end up right
* use big blocks (although I just started a small block quilt)
* Use no more than 4 fabrics (5 on a really great day)
* utilize large print fabric
* indulge my love of bright colors
* are striking in appearance
* When done, make someone happy, even if it's only me.

Made with fabrics that compliment each other
Made with the recipient in mind

That showcase the quilters talents

Have a more modern look, and are made with uncomplicated blocks. Also love quilts that have interesting modern quilting designs

I especially like quilts that are visually appealing, have simple quilting for a softer look and feel, that reflect a mood or season or interest.

That said, I don't think I've ever actually seen an "ugly" quilt. Some might not match my preferences for design or color choice, but they were still pretty in their own way.
