What's your style?
Traditional, Contemporary or Modern quilting, I love them all. I can't seem to focus on just one style. Anybody else feel this way?
|
Same here, still new to quilting and have not yet developed as "style". I love them all.
|
i don't want to pigeon hole myself into one particular style. overall, i'm a traditional person, but i try all sorts of new things.
|
I really love all styles and seem to swing wildly from project to project. Sometimes just the fabrics I have pulled have lying around is what inspires me. Just recently I have been working on folk art type quilts.
|
My favorite quilts to make are scrappy quilts, but they come in all styles. I think it's kind of fun to mix styles--traditional fabrics in a contemporary setting or vice versa. I'll try just about anything once.
|
Whatever rocks my boat. I know that I lack in many techniques to try different styles but I will get there, eventually.
|
I make quilts from patterns that excite or intrigue me. Traditional, modern etc. it doesn't matter to me if it catches my eye, matches my skills or stretches them a little, I put it on my bucket list.
|
My style will fluctuate.. it seems if I just finished a modern..then my next one will be traditional. I go back and forth. Once I met a quilter who told me I was not a true"artist" as I had not developed a distinct "style". I beg to differ with that concept.

Me too!! I couldn't have said it better. |
I don't have a clue. I just make whatever appeals to me.
|
I would have to say my style is mostly contemporary. I'm not crazy about the modern quilts lack of pattern. I don't care for any of the reproduction styles of fabrics, 30s, civil war, etc and I don't care much for the patterns that went with those styles of fabrics.
|
I consider myself a newbie still to quilting, 3 yrs of quiltmaking, so there are still so many quilts that I want to make and all different styles. I've made a traditional sampler quilt, a bargello, and everything inbetween, with the exception of paper piecing. I love them all and can't wait to finish the current WIP so I can get on to the next! Quilting for me is a form of therapy....makes me focus so the stress just melts away (except when ripping!).
|
Whatever strikes my fancy on any given day. Right now I'm doing scrappy because I need to use them up. I have made a lot of kaliedoscope quilts though.
|
Today's Tuesday, so it must be three dimensional...yup, 3-D Tuesday.

I do a little bit of everything. It's more fun that way.
|
You mean you are supposed to pick only one?????
|
Love 'em all and want to try them all!

I love all the traditional patterns, I just seem to gravitate toward them, but if I see a pattern I like, I make it. I finished the pattern Eldon this summer. I do like the more intriquet patterns tho.
|
I love everything except, possibly, traditional.
|
No I am more traditional, not really into modern. I do like some contemporary but still stick mostly to traditional
|
I want to do almost all quilts I see, but there isn't enough time left in my lifetime. So I just go with whatever floats my boat at the moment.
|
If I had to categorize myself it would be more traditional but not really set into one mode......
|
My favorite style to make is absolutely eclectic.
|
Definetly a modern quilter
|
I make mostly scrappy quilts, so I don't have a particular style. I am still trying to use up bins of inherited fabrics.
|
I love all quilts, but I tend to lean towards folk art, theme or country styles. I love applique either hand or machine and seems like every quilt I make winds up with some type of applique on it. I really want to try to move myself forward into different styles. I love the Civil War and also the 1930's quilts. I think we all have our own styles even if we don't realize it!
|
I think my style is determined by the particular project I am working on at the moment, as I think I like all styles, although I'm not good at art quilts, but don't really want to be pigeonholed into one style from another.
|
I'm pretty traditional but I make all kinds when called for.
|
I have done traditional when I first started (did the Thimbleberries clubs for a couple of years), probably did some contemporary, and have done a couple of my own layouts. It depends on your personal choices, not everyone falls into one category.
|
with my daughters still in their 20's, i seem to be making more contemporary designs - must say I'm liking the results!
|
I guess I make more Traditional quilt than any other type, but I like all different kinds. I love to try new patterns. I agree with others....whatever catches my eye.
|
Eclectic! In not only my quilting, but clothing and decorating.
|
Like you, I love them all. I'm currently loving scrappy patchwork.
|
I bounce between "standard looking" quilts, landscape and a few "art". It depends on for whom I am making a quilt or my mood, usually for whom. All are fun and fulfilling for me.
|
Don't think I really have a style. I see a quilt or pattern I like and make it. Different patterns appeal to me at different times; for different people, etc
|
I love the moderns and that seems to be the way I lean in my quilts.
|
I love modern quilts. The ones where there's a vastness of one color and in a corner is some blocks. I like that look. I like Elizabeth Hartman's style of quilts. She is so awesome!! That's the modern I love. I also love civil war, traditional, applique, paper pieced, English paper piecing, almost everything BUT I'm not crazy about quilts that people paint and glue things to. I'm not explaining myself well, but it's like they are painting on a canvas and calling it quilting. How can someone compete with a great painter who decides to paint on fabric and call it a quilt? I don't think it's quilting...it's painting. Call it what it is. IMHO!!!!!
|
I don't know. If I see something I like and think I can do it, then I would go for it. So far, I guess I have done traditional.
|
I do whatever strikes my fancy for the moment, or perhaps what "style" the recipient may like. I do lean towards traditional, and paper piecing. I love intricate challenges as well! Not much on the modern things tho.
I enjoy seeing everyone's different creations, whatever style they may be! :) |
I want to try them all too. Variety is the spice of life.
