I'm so glad that I am not the only one! Some quilts just make me physically ill. I can't get my balance and have even fallen. It is not just quilts, anything with an extremely random path or colors that "dance". I enjoy looking at all quilts but, I try to avoid looking at the "jiggly" ones.

I play around with my EQ a lot, and find that quite often I end up with designs that make my eyes spin, LOL
Certain colors or fabrics can really make for spectacular effects, however, I have often wondered what they would look like in real life
This topic is very interesting, I didn't realize that so many had issues with colors/ designs. I will keep all of this in mind for the future, as many of mine will be and have been donated. Thank you for all of the great information

It happens to me sometimes too. A lot of it is the design of the fabric and the bright colors.

I did a one block wonder, black with purple, red and green fabric. Not my favorite print, big roses. When trying to lay out the blocks I got dizzy and sick. Couldn't handle the movement and colour. So I spaced them with plain black. Good job that top was for the fun of learning a how to do a OBW cause I still feel funny when I look at it!

Interesting. I try very hard to put depth, dimension and movement into all of my quilts with both color and pattern; for me, that's what it's all about. Guess I'd better not post pics anymore...
