Yes, that's happened to me too! Although I haven't been to many "big" shows, I have walked around Quilt Shows and thought, this was a waste of time, not my style. My tastes are simple and traditional except in batiks. So often the art quilts or modern quilts just don't do it. I'm not into FQs or following patterns. But, if I hang out long enough, usually waiting for my friends to finish, I find something to occupy my time even if I don't buy.
