When you see a quilt for the first time
what do you see first? The color, the pattern, the prints, the quilting? What catches your eye first?
For me I think it is the color first, pattern 2nd, quilting 3rd and then the prints. I have been thinking about this for a long time and to me is the color. How about you?

What I like to look at first. The quilts total design. Second value contrast. Third color. Forth quilting.
Some quilts are all about color or quilting or value contrast or the print of the fabric. When that statement is strong enough I'll stop to look.
PS: I'm a fiber artist.

It really has to depend on the quilt. Some are all about color, some are about the geometry of the piecing, some are a showcase for great quilting, some demand attention for the fabric prints (least often in my experience). There's room for all elements to be the star once in a while.
