I don't know but this sounds more like quilt police. I like all of different quilts there might be a few I would never make only because they are not my thing. I still like to see them done by someone else.

I have never seen a quilt pattern that gives me the creeps. I believe it is the fabric/color combination that attracts me in quilts, so if the colors and fabric arrangement are pleasing to my eyes, I just would love that pattern. And even when I don't like a certain quilt/colors, I won't say it gives me the creeps, just not my style, just like my quilts are not everyone's style.
Now, Krystana, have you seen my Bargello??? :mrgreen:

Totally unrelated to topic: Does anyone here know what those niche altars are called? They are outside in the garden and along the roadside out west. Usually have a religious statue and lots of candles. The word is driving us crazy because we used to know it.

One Block Wonders look way too messy and busy -- just look like they were thrown together. If they had sashings like a traditional kaleidoscope pattern, then they would look better, something to give the eyes a rest.
I do love log cabins... did not make any until this year. But this year, I have sewn 3 log-cabin tops. They are scrappy, but 'planned' scrappy (in the same color family).
Some of the patterns and layouts which you see over and over again seem boring now (not creepy though).

One of the things I've enjoyed the most about this board is the huge number of members with their extremely varied tastes and skill levels. I've been amazed by projects that I can't imagine trying for myself, and I've broadened the way I think about fabrics and patterns because of what the amazing quilters have shown here.
Surely we can share our "dislikes" in a polite, nonjudgemental way. After all, think how boring this board would be if we all liked the same patterns and fabrics!
