You are not alone. Because my interest in art has always truned towards geometric shapes, I find I love the old patterns. I have a color one from the log cabin that I've sold, and have been asked to duplicate. [it'll never be the same] so cheer up there are a lot of us in the world who are comfortable with traditional shapes. My very first quilt was made from the left over material my mother saved from her sewing clothes for my seven sisters and brother and I. I was fifteen and thought all those scrape were just dryrotting in her material chest.
