I appreciate the traditional quilts and have done quilts using cival war reproduction fabrics but mostly tend to do colorful quilts. I like it all including the art-quilts, depends upon what I want to work on, my mood, who the quilts for, etc. I started quilting because I liked the artsy stuff I saw in bright colors. So glad we are not all alike and appreciate that everyone brings something different to see on this board. It's all good.
