I am basically a 30's lover because it reminds me of my childhood. I am a lucky person that has slept under a quilt all of my life and can't imagine not. There are so many quilts I love and many I don't. I am not a fan of Civil War quilts or the extreme modern ones but I do see and recognize the beautiful work that goes into them.

Whether on not I dislike the pattern or the fabric, sometime it is hard for me to tell. Different fabrics really make a difference in the overall appeal to me. Even if it isn't my taste, I always appreciate the work the maker put into it.

Do NOT google "Bad Sue" or you will get a page of porn links! Ask me how I found that out!
The original Sue repeated over and over again in the exact same fabrics bores me to tears.
I love the International, US States, and Calendar Sues. I have a pinterest board with Sunbonnet Sues, naughty Sues, Sue being dispatched with in various ways, and "interesting" Sues mixed in together. It has a warning at the top for those who become hysterical when Sue is messed with.
The only patterns I dislike are some of the "modern" quilts that look like they have zero thoughts or planning put into them. You know the ones I mean. At the same time, there are modern quilts which I do find appealing.
Thank goodness we all have different tastes!

I think it can be any one of the aspects, or an assortment. Colors you don't like, a design style, or as Jan indicated a style you are tired of seeing. I think with a pattern though it may more likely be the design because you could always take a pattern and make it in any color-but if you don't like the color used it could be enough to turn you off to the pattern. Kind of like you don't get a second chance to make a first impression.

I used to love Bargello quilts but now I don't. They make me feel quesy! When looking at quilt patterns the ones that catch my eye are the ones that use fabrics or colors I like. If I don't like a pattern I try to visualize the pattern in other colors and fabrics. Not always easy to do for me.
