You bet! When I started quilting, everything was country blue & pink calicos and solids. Then the geometrics came around along with a limited amount of tone-on-tones. I love the batiks & tonals-such as Moda marbles & fusions. Can't really get into the big, bright fabrics like Kaffe and Amy Butler, but the younger set loves them and that's great!!! Keeps quilting alive!
Style of blocks has changed drastically. When I first began, hand piecing, applique & quilting were the only acceptable methods to make quilts. Very traditional patterns & layouts. Using the machine was only allowed for the first step of sewing the binding on. Now we have machine everything & it's wonderful.
I have gone from pink & blue calico traditional to paper pieced Mariner's Compasses and New York Beauty blocks, along with Celtic applique and an occasional fusible applique using batiks and tonals.
What do you suppose is next?
