I love my family but we are rather boring. No one really digs floral prints and find using more than a few colors and prints in a quilt old-fashioned. How do I make quilts for them? So many really pretty patterns/blocks use 7 or 8 different fabrics and some prints right next to other prints. Every time I've asked if they like the block or quilt, I get a "well, it's too busy for my taste but it's pretty". I'd like to make some of the more complex patterns but just can't seem to grasp how to do it with less. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
