I would not have been shocked except to note that he actually made a comment. That the comment was a compliment is a bonus!!!!! Now you have given me an idea - a solid color 10-minute block quilt!! Hot Diggity!!

Just speaks to different peoples' taste. I wouldn't take it personally. I hate yellow. Most people say, "Oh, it is so cheerful. How can you hate it?" I believe it is cheerful for them but to me it is extremely depressing. Just different tastes.
On another note, I know paper piecing is a lot of work but as a general rule I don't like the appearance of most things paper pieced. They look too choppy to me. So, I might say to someone that paper pieced a lot and finally made a 9-patch, "This is my favorite quilt you have made." My taste, not a comment on their work.

I am taking the Free Craftsy BOM club. I proudly took my blocks into a co-worker who quilts, since she had never made some of these blocks. Her comments--"I would have never used THAT color." Hurtful--yes. So I will not be showing my blocks off to her again. Yes, everyone like different things and that is what makes the world interesting. However, comments that are meant to demean (even unintentional) are not necessary. That is why I so enjoy this board....everyone is so positive and praises each other. We are special people!
All WHITE quilt---go for it!! LOTS OF CRAZY COLOR--I love it!

All the ladies in out group like it and the skill at it was done with the 10 minute blocks but disliked no colour.

I am so blessed, John is able to look at a quilt and see the pattern, colors or not, creativity, workmanship, and ALWAYS finds something positive and wonderful about each one, and not just mine but those made by other people
