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 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!"
