Your SIL just doesn't the TRUE quilter in you, bless her heart. If your house were all matchey matchey, it would 1; look like a furniture store or 2 look like a funeral home. I call such "wild cards" eye candy. LOL

OK, I've attached the 'block in question' (first picture). It really isn't bright at all, in my opinion. It is 1/4 of the full paper-pieced block. I'm thinking of putting it smack dab in the middle of my kitchen island, and having the new 'kitchen color' to be blue & purple.
She also turned up her nose a bit at my daughter's quilt-in-process. Yeah, now THAT'S bright! ha ha I let her pick the colors herself. She's 10 and tickled with it. I was working on this one last night, and my eyes are going crossed with the layout. The pattern is Eleanor Burn's Lover's Knot. And, get this, her room is painted bright orange! The name of the paint color she picked was Laughing Orange.
Do ya like my home-made design board? It's two hooks over top my set of closet doors in my sewing room. I used a shower curtain rod and made a quick sleeve in some flannel. Works great, and yes, it's a lovely BRIGHT teal.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your daughter's quilt. It's gorgeous!!!! Clever idea on the design wall! I use a flannel-backed tablecloth that I can roll up with the blocks inside and move to my sewing room.
BTW, I was reading in a design magazine several months ago that purple is the new "in" color for kitchens! You are cutting edge!

Are you happy with your house? Yes? Then don't worry about what others think. You're the one that lives there, not them. Chances are there are things about their homes that you don't particularly care about either. tit for tat. I'm with you.
