"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". If someone really likes a certain color combination that I don't enjoy; it isn't my place to be critical. I recently heard someone make a statement about a quilt that had very simple blocks and bold colors. The person who provided the unsolicited opinion stated the quilt wasn't very artistic and should have more depth. The quilt was simplistic but still beautiful in the way Amish quilts are. I felt badly for the quilter whose work was being critisized. It just wasn't necessary to devalue the work of that quilter.
