Good question-I hope I give honest praise, remembering colors/patterns one quilter likes may not be my favorite, but is it nicely done? If I ask for critique, I want truthful opinions to improve my quilt with-that is what I try to offer others when they ask. I do consider whether it's a first quilt or a beginner to encourage at a time when they are learning. Honest critique is good and I believe one reason we are here, seeking advice from each other, how we offer it is important-is it stated constructively. I've received great help and appreciate the caring attitude found here. We are all at different levels in our craft and the direction we choose to take it to. I will think upon this for future comments. If someone shares but does not ask for critique, would you give advice, praise, or no comment?
