    My tastes have changed. I now like the brighter colors and patterns I never thought I could stand.

    For me I just see something that I think would look nice and I go for it.

    My taste in fabric has changed though. I never liked Batiks but they are very slowly growing on me.
    LOL...you make stacknwhack sound like a painful thing, Pam!
    I haven't tried it either, but it looks interesting. Too many other fish to fry, right now! ;)

    Same here. I love the hard pattern designs and have yet to do one. NY Beauty is the one I want to start with. Love all things Asian.

Not sure if they scared me, but after quilting for awhile, my confidence in my abilities has improved. I am willing to try a Dresden plate quilt, done in the vintage type fabric. Funny, eh? Anyone feel the same way or maybe even in reverse.
    Mine too have changed from Traditional blocks to more of the applique patterns. I still do Traditional but I like to try different things. I get all the free patterns I can so I have something to go to if I get BORED with what I am doing.
