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

Color for sure is the first thing that grabs my attention. But I think what really "WOWS" me is when someone produces a well constructed and designed quilt from their own mind. I have nothing against following a purchased pattern, but I am always amazed by individual creativity.

I look for the unusual use of color. Traditional quilts done in un-traditional colors. I am also so a sucker for unusual uses of florals. I can't explain the others, but there are a lot of them on here.

Good question.... I think it is the theme of the quilt for me.
Some quilts just speak of "simplicity" or "romance" or "whimsy" or some other overarching concept. When I can look at quilt and sense the theme and feel some emotional connection, then I utter a "wow".

I think color grabs me first and then the pattern and the quilting only when I can get close enough to actually stand there and admire it. From a distance it doesn't always show where color does.
