I personally hate to have people ask me what I think of their quilt, quilt top, or fabric selections while in a LQS. If it's beautiful, I have no problem telling them it's terrific, but if I think it's "ugly" I have trouble saying something nice because I know it won't sound sincere. I have learned not to say that's interesting, but I really haven't come up with words that won't hurt their feelings. I sometimes try to change the subject by asking where they got their pattern or comment on their fine sewing skills.
