Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My friend has just made a white quilt for a friend. It has no colour at all. On showing her son, 35ish his comment was" that is is the best quilt you have ever made" this was an amazing shock to her as she makes very colourful quilts. All the ladies in out group like it and the skill at it was done with the 10 minute blocks but disliked no colour.
Finished is better than a UFO
i'll bet it's beautiful.

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
I'm sure it is beautiful. My son (29 years old) would have probably made the same comment so I had to laugh with your post. Young men are so strange.
I quilted an all white whole cloth quilt for my daughter for her wedding and it came out beautiful & I am very proud of it as there is a lot of quilting in whole cloth quilts. This was done at the beginning of my quilting career (aka hobby) & I had no idea how she was going to decorate and the quilt is always out, sometimes folded and on display and sometimes on her bed.
Happy Quilting

What my hubby objects to is the different prints together. If it was all white, the prints wouldn't be as noticeable!

Everyone likes something different!At least he complimented it and seemed to appreciate it.

My mother, God bless her, is really trying to like quilts because I make them. She just cannot get passed by all the colors and prints. She would probably be mesmerized by your friend's quilt. I still have not made a quilt for my mother. She will love anything I make because it came from me but I also want her to really like the quilt itself. Maybe I will try a one color quilt and see how it goes. Thank you for the idea.
maybe a 2 color quilt would be something she would like. I made a blue and white one for my DGD and she loves it esp. since blue is her favorite color. this was taken before I tied it and put on binding.Originally Posted by Tashana
Ny DH would have made the same comment. He does not like all the bright colors and patterns of fabric in a quilt. The subtleness of one color is more soothing to many people.
I would think with it being all one color... the design/pattern would stand out. Not a bad thing.
As for the people that didn't care for the quilt... to each their own.
