My friends and I are always honest about fabric. The three of us have completely different tastes in fabric, so usually we just say, "Yep, that looks like you!" But what we have discovered is that something we thought was ugly (usually) turns out really nice when it's put with other fabrics in a quilt. And even if I don't like the fabric in a quilt, there's always something nice I can say about the quilt! I can admire the pattern, the quilting, the way the fabrics match so well, etc.
