Amen !! I have trouble with the chocolate/aqua combination even though I have seen some great quilts with those colors. I also have trouble with the avacado and orange -- particularly in the kids panels (probably saw too much of it way back when . :D

What a fascinating thread this is! I've seen (online) hundreds of quilts I admire but would not want to own, while some I actually covet; hundreds more I think are downright ugly but still like parts of; patterns and techniques that I dislike and then see made up in colors or combinations that I love. The styles I usually like, such as scrappy or bargello, have included some of the ugliest finished products as well as some of the most pleasing. If I ever make it to the point I can create art quilts I will consider myself accomplished, while thinking that some of the ones I've seen have been horrid. I've been collecting pictures and patterns I might like to make someday, and a few are (currently, might change ;) ) in my "Make These!" file. Wouldn't life be rather boring without all our variety and differences of opinion, as well as the opportunity to change preferences at will? Or as the plaque on my wall says, "I'm easy to get along with, as long as you do things my way." :mrgreen:

When I started quilting I said I would never be caught dead..making a "Sunbonnet Sue"..I still haven't (20) years and 7 GD's later !! However..I'm addicted to "Bargello's" and "Log Cabins"..as a designer..there is no end to what you can do with them..isn't the quilt world great..we're all different and it's fun ??

Have to admit I like a lot of styles; Log Cabin,Dresden Plate(My mom's favorite design) Scrap quilts and bargellos (it doesn't necessarily mean I would make that last one), but the one the turns my stomach every time I see or hear it mentioned is the DRUNKARDS PATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure it had to have been created because some poor 1800's housewife wanted to display her Disdain for her husband's like of the "ale".
