I know what you mean. My daughter is the same way. We're just from another generation. When I started quilting with Kaffe Fassett fabrics and other brighter and louder prints, my daughter now loves my quilts and takes them to college with her. I don't know if this will be a fad or these quilts will be "in" 20 years from now. I think that she now has a new appreciation of the more subtle quilts.
