I have also found that what I didn't like when I first started quilting, colors or design, I am starting to like now.
My grandmother would show us the quilts she would be working on when we would go for a visit. I thought those were the ugliest quilts I had ever seen, (all of ten years old). I now think back and would love to see or even own some of those quilts. I continue over time to look at quilts with different eyes. I have expanded what I like with different colors and designs.
