ok, here is what I do. If asked if i like a fabric, I will say yes or no.
If asked if a fabric will work in something and shown a picture, i will think about it and then answer, considering the size of the print, the value of the color, etc.
Whether i think a fabric is ugly or not, really depends on what it will be used for.
I have seen stripes and polka dots in places i wouldn't use them, and some quilts wouldn't be the same without them.
But, however I say it, I do tell the truth. That is what they are asking for.
I have on occassion, laughingly asked a question and suggested that they "lie" to me, lie to me!" :wink:
(not about fabrics though. I always make up MY OWN mind about those). :mrgreen:
