I'm not particularly fond of traditional quilting although I admire those that have gone that route. I think of fabric as paint to create something and not be tied down to rules on how it is to be used just as one would with paper crafting, inks, stamps and such.
I am new to the quilting scene and properly will never make what is coined a traditional quilt but I will make quilts as time goes by. I also am more of an abstract geometric funky kind of person when it comes to art. To many folks they may think it doesn't make any sense nor has any rhyme or reason but that's the way I like it.
So I guess I'm more into applique, or some form of crazy quilting than traditional quilting. It's not saying I would not create traditional blocks for trades and such but I seriously doubt I would make a full traditional quilt.
