A wise quilter once said to me "my doesn't that just smack you in the mouth" when she saw one on my bright quilts. Not sure if it was a compliment... actually I don't think she liked brights. Ummm.... come to think of it I think she said "all quilts look fantastic with the lights off"

Do you like bright, colorful quilts?
I paid good money to take a quilting class at Tenn. Tech one summer. The instructor said I was "very daring in my use of prints". It is a study in how our eye fools us, pairs of the same star but done in different values. I interpreted her comment to mean she didn't like my choices. Oh well. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love the bright colors!
