Its like every other facet of our lives. We have things we like and things we don't. But if we don't try them we will never know...I like the variety of techniques in quilting. Every technique gives a different result and I like to spice my quilts up as well as my talents by trying them, I may never do one of them again but, when coming upon a new challenge for a quilt I may want to try in the future I then have the ability to master it. After almost 20 yrs of quilting I tried paper piecing this year and I really like it..some don't. Applique, I've done huge projects and they turn out very nice...its whatever floats your boat...lol
