I have never cared for Trip Around the World. Although some I've seen are pretty, most of the time I find the pattern boring. Again, a lot of what makes a quilt is how the quilter interprets the pattern and selects the fabrics and those factors can make a huge difference in whether or not I like the quilt.

I love log cabins and bargellos, it does not hurt my feelings what so ever if anyone doesn't. There is always lots and lots more of people that love these 2 quilt patterns than those who don't. And really I appreciate honesty especially if it is said in a way that doesn't hurt anyone else's feelings. There has been a many of time that someone said they didn't like something I made or did that made me a better quilter, etc.
Please post your pictures of your work whether it is perfect or far from it. I promise you, it will help someone else. :cry: :roll: :)

I don't care for bargellos either. Nor Grandmother's Flower Garden, or Trip Around the World, or OBW's that are hexagon shaped or sweet sue... There are probably more quilt patterns I dislike than like! But we are all individuals and have our own tastes. In general this is a really supportive group, so no one should be afraid to post their work. You will only get positive comments. If I can't say something genuinely nice about someone else's work, I don't say anything at all.

So funny! Bargellos make me dizzy, I love log cabins and I don't even know what crumb or convergence quilts are! But I always learn so much here. By next week I'll be able to tell you if I like them or not!

It's funny, the minute I say I don't like a specific pattern, someone makes it and uses fantastic fabric or puts a special twist on it and it looks fantastic. It just may be a pattern than I would not be able to pull off without a whole lot of help. My imagination is not so great and need color assistance on a regular basis.
