Ya. I understand not everyone has access to really good fabric... but nobody says you have to make 50 quilts a year also. Buy less fabric, more complex patterns, show off the skills you have (or don't have yet), and look at the art you produce, not just the handycraft.
I tend to agree with your position that a nice complex patterned quilt shows off the beauty of the fabric within.
That all said, I have always agreed we all quilt for our inner quilt demon, whatever that is.
