Maybe it is a matter of taste but I would say I don't like the majority of them.

Also how can they take an old pattern and call it theirs. Just because they use different fabric.

THEY REALLY CAN'T. MOST QUILT BLOCK PATTERNS ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

I have only made quilts the same as the pattern when it was a BOM. I look at the pattern and decide what fabric I want to make it out of. Or I buy fabric and then look for a pattern to make from it. But that has backfired a few times as I don't have enough fabric.
