I seem to be attracted to more complex patterns like mariners compass and Judy Niemeyer patterns. But I like simpler things too as long as they are visually stimulating. I love to have a person look at one of my quilts and say "how'd she do that??" I really love illusion quilts that give the impression of 3D designs but have only made attic windows and tumbling blocks. I have not yet tried the OBW cube designs or the quilts of illusion that look like 9 patch cubes.
