I agree some quilts that are shown in quilt magazines are boring because of the fabric chosen. However, I think a true quilter will take a quilt block and by choosing different fabric can make gorgeous quilts. What is it that Mary Ellen Hopkins says - These are just kindergarten blocks, but it's the fabric that jazzes them up, or something like that. I agree. I have a friend who buys quilt kits because everything is already cut out, but I don't because I like choosing my own fabric. Different strokes.
