After reading all the responses I think the reason I am not fond of scrap quilts is that as one poster mentioned - there is nowhere for my eyes to rest. I certainly respect the amount of thought, work and talent it takes to make a scrappy quilt but they are not my style either. I'm not necessarily into matchy matchy either but I do prefer a relatively limited number of fabrics and symmetry. Just my taste. Also not fond of sampler quilts for the same reasons, I suppose.
