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

give me satisfaction of accomplishment
let me try new things
are fun to make

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!
