I personally like getting the advice if I ask for an opinion, say for example in border choices, but I find it really discouraging to read 4+ pages with "I don't like your options." Part of asking such a large group like the QB I guess
When it last happened, I suddenly started doubting my eye for color and creativity; something I have NEVER done. I've made many quilts in the past where I never asked anyone's opinions, and I was always happy so I think I will go back to that.
Because of that, if I see someone asking for advice, I try to say something positive to encourage them, even if I'm not giving advice. Just my feelings on the whole advice thing.
