What makes you look at a quilt and say "WOW"?

Absolutely the colors for me. That goes for most things - I'm just a color fiend! I notice colors in everything and form strong opinions based on them.
I'm embarrassed to admit, but it takes one heck of an amazing quilting job for some quilts to look more than "pretty but boring" to me. I'm jaded by jewel and earth tones, I think.

I'm drawn to the colors and the ways they blend sometimes and in some quilts the way they pop out from each other. After that I look at the design,but it's the color selection I think that can really make a quilt say,"Come closer and look at me".

It takes it all to make it work for me.
Some quilts I love even though there might not be much contrast. Other quilts have the contrast but the textures are so equal that the overall effect is more than just disappointing.
