Well sometimes I have used #1...not in a negative way but meaning I liked the color combination and it wasn't on my radar and thanks for showing me the combo.

Quilt Police Beware! My sewing room is guarded by an attack pussy cat who will put fur on your quilts if you get to critical of my work. Tee-Hee-Hee Good thread. We need to support our young quilting colleagues. Quilt on!

I would like to say that I'm shocked people actually say those things. Sadly, I am unsurprised. I recently completed my first quilt. It's a lap size done with a batik jelly roll. My own mother, who has never quilted anything, saw the fabrics I was putting together and then began to make several suggestions as to what I could do differently, and what colors I should leave out. A week or so later, when it was finished, I took it to her house and showed it to her. She seemed stunned that it turned out to be pretty.
