Is the apple core block the same as the thimbles block? I don't like it because it is too plain and I would much rather see more of a variety of shapes and colors. I think these types show off your talent more.

Thank goodness we all have different likes and dislikes. Wouldn't it be a dull world if we all liked the same things???

This is just too funny a topic, because it seems, that the bargello and log cabin are really taking the hits, and I just finished a THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX log cabin pattern, my first log cabin, and went straight to work on a bargello. I know that I will do the log cabin again, but the bargello, it is really giving me a headache. Maybe when I get done, I will like it, but right now, not so much. But, as far as actual patterns, I love all patterns, but know that there are some I would never do, so I just admire someone else's talents and find my own nook.

No, the apple core block is not the same as the thimbles block. The apple core block is made from 2 different fabrics in each block and the thimble (I call it "tumbler" ) block is just a whole bunch blocks that are all the same shape but are different colors. I made one about 20 yrs ago and I'm getting ready to make another one. I love them! I am also considering making a postage stamp quilt :shock:

I love scrap quilts, crumb quilts and log cabins...lol! I even like to see the storybook version of a scrap quilt in a children's story book....you know the quilt that always seems to cover whichever child is in bed, in the story :lol: I know, weird, huh?

I see lots of quilts that I don't think that I would like to attempt but I still like to look at pictures of them.

I don't know if this is related to the people that are creeped out by certain patterns or sharp points but many years ago when I was going through a rough time in my life and suffered from anxiety/panic attacks, I couldn't look at old buildings. Not sure what it was but I would start to feel anxiety just by looking at the architecture of old buildings. I don't feel that way now but still remember how it made me feel, then.

I have read every post on all 14 pages! Isn't it wonderful that we can agree to disagree. I"m not fond of OBW's, too busy for me. I promise I will never make one, but that doesn't stop me from looking and admiring every picture on the board. Might miss something if I don't look!

I like to see everyone's individual take on a pattern and the color that I have seen some of you come you with make me rethink the patterns I did not like when I started. You are one bunch of talened people.

I don't like crumb or crazy quilts. I do love scrappy quilts as well as the totally controlled color quilts. I HATE Sunbonnet Sue, but Naughty Sue is fun. Not thrilled by Turning Twenty...they are a bit boring.

I don't like any kind of patterns with set-in seam I see those and I run for higher ground.

Looks like you are not alone about bargellos - but, I really do like the way some of the log cabins are put together though. Some are striking. Colors and layout placement play a huge factor for one to appeal to me. Scrappy quilts I'm not too crazy about either.

I like the simplicity of just two or even just a few fabrics in a quilt design. But I have done quilts with more than just a few fabrics. The bargello fabric assortment is just way too much for me. Although I've seen a few bargellos on this site that I did think were beautiful. Go figure!

Me too. And my daughter doesn't like them either. I don't see the why to make them.

I don't care for the bargello either. It just does not do anything for me.
