I also don't like sampler quilts -- as if they didn't have time to plan anything and threw a little of this and little of that into the mix.
This may be slightly off-topic, but I am getting really turned off by quilt shows. In general, most of the quilts are either art quilts or the quilting is so dense, that you can't appreciate the underlying pattern. The quilting should enhance the pattern, not overwhelm it. Even though I never enter my quilts into shows, sometimes the shows just discourage me, by making me think that my efforts will not ever match these wonderful pieces.
