I am also drawn to more traditional color combinations and some of the newer magazines are using unusual (sometimes pretty, sometimes not) color combos.

I was thinking about what you said about older magazines. I
think the biggest difference I see is the older quilts are more made with templates.
So many recent patterns are designed for rotary cutting that we seem to get a lot of squares
and rectangles. I think that cuts down on the "interest factor".[/quote]
