I am like Extreme Quilter. I am drawn to batiks. When I make a quilt I go to them first.
I like fabrics that have textural designs not necessarily flowers or whatever. I like it to have movement. I don't use solids at all. I would rather use a tone on tone.
But mostly it depends on what type of quilt I am making. I don't do a lot of traditional quilts. I prefer Art Quilts.
