I love your beautiful response. Amen!

Knowing the hard work and personal love that goes into a quilt I would never say anything bad about one. mho

Most of the time when I don't like a quilt, it's because I don't like the fabric choice or color choice, but that's why we all have different tastes. So I give a compliment on the pattern (or whatever I do like about the quilt) and keep the rest to myself.

No matter what a quilt looks like, I can appreciate the time and effort that was put into it by the maker. We all are proud of our work and like to hear the positive things about it. I may not like it but I won't tell the maker that.

I would consider the "quilt police" the ones that say something negative, even if they are just expressing their opinion. I don't like every quilt, but I am sure the maker don't care to know that.

I always try to say something positive. That's particularly because my tastes seem to be the opposite of what most people like, so I'm pretty sure that most people usually hate my quilts. I don't want them bashing mine (although they do somewhat frequently), so I don't bash theirs.

I've had a few projects turn out to be less than I expected. But I was proud of them cause I did it and I learned something in the process. It would hurt me if someone said, "Your seams don't match. . .Your points are cut off. . . That's a bad color choice." I try to focus on the positive rather than the negative cause I realize how much of ourselves goes into every project.

I am personally amazed at the talent on this board. As many have said, something may not be my taste or "my cup of tea", but I can still appreciate and applaud the love and effort that another has put in their creation. To all on here I say "keep it up, love what you do and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!"

I have never seen a quilt yet, that did not have atleast one beautiful aspect to it :D:D:D

Apparently I listened to your mother as well. However, I also believe that if you ask the question, you should be prepared to hear the answer.
