Thank goodness we are different - otherwise all our quilts would look alike!
Reading your response just put a picture in my head of logging on to the QB and opening post after post in the picture section and seeing the same quilt over and over.
I am so glad we all have different tastes and ideas. I'm also glad everyone here enjoys sharing their ideas because as I see more quilts, I feel my horizons are broadening. I have looked as certain styles of quilts in the past that did not appeal to me. However, I often will see another quilt of the same style but made with a different color combination, laid out in a different way, etc., and suddenly, I really become more interested in that style. For instance, when I first saw a bargello quilt, it didn't appeal to me because, I thought, I like more traditional patterns. However, I fell in love with the ones made using Barb_mo's tutorial and I have made one top already with another in progress. After thinking about it, I believe it is because I like a more symetrical pattern...but that may change also at some point.
I guess quilts are a lot like people. There are some we just don't care for, but someone in the world loves them.
