I love it all; traditional piecing, new and "old" fabrics. I have not purchased any kits, I prefer to match colors and so forth on my own. If a pattern does not have the size I want, I try to resize it on my own. I have taken a couple of classes and would like to learn how to applique in the in future. The fun of quilting for me is that every time I make a quilt, I learn a new skill HST, flying geese etc. I also keep perfecting other skills.
