Do you think it is because there are only so many actual blocks, but so many ways to put them together-then, so many ways to arrange the blocks-plus add in the factor color plays-we all know how changing just one of those factors can make a quilt look so different. To most except very experienced quilters, maybe, they all look different. I know if I see a quilt made in certain colors I may not like, or darks/lights reversed, or in flowers instead of batiks (for example,) I may not like it-but seeing in changed, it just jumps out at me saying "You must make me!". Just look what you can do with a simple Log Cabin block!
