    I like quilts that are one of a kind.
    I like to mix patterns to make one pattern. The patterns are not my design but the finished design is. Here is one I made using the Disappearing Pinwheel block and and a pieced duck block.

    I like quilts that are:
    personalized for a specific person
    have a combination of piecing, embroidery and applique
    pay attention to details (color, design, small surprises)
    completed in a few months after starting
    loved and used

    I like quilts that make people think I'm the most creative, talented person ever. LOL

    Wow! And I thought I had a lot of kits put together! You could sew without leaving the house for years!

    I like quilts that
    1. look difficult but are actually easy to make
    2. create optical illusions
    3. look artistic and unique
    4. are fun to make without a lot of tedious repetition (is tedious repetition an oxymoron? lol)
    5. have beautiful unique colors

    Well said.
    I also like quilts that are:
    A tiny bit of a challenge, which isn't hard since I'm pretty new to this.
    Hand quilted
    Have wonderful colors that fit the design
    That allow me to learn something new each time

    I like quilts that:

    I love/others love
    are quilted rather than tied
    give me satisfaction of accomplishment
    let me try new things
    are fun to make

    [QUOTE
    Do not have 92 pieces in every block.[/QUOTE]

    Ditto! I recently finished an animal quilt top and omitted the monkey I drafted, as it had 40 pieces in an 8" finished block. Yuck!
