The colors catch my eye immediately (#1), but right afterwards, I notice the quality of the fabrics and the workmanship. A gorgeous quilt isn't so great after all if it's poorly sewn or is constructed with low-quality fabric.
(As an aside: My dad always told me "If you're going to do it, do it right." He used to build a lot of things, always puttering around in his shop, and when he built something, he made it to last. He sometimes went a little overboard, but by golly, nothing he made EVER fell apart! :mrgreen: We always refer to his stuff as being "Daddy-Built". :lol: He's retired now and isn't able to build as much these days, but because of him, I try to make my quilts and other craft stuff the best I possibly can. :) )
