My love is sewing and handquilting Amish-type (inspired) quilts. I love large blocks of fabric just waiting for swirls, fans, spider webs, grids...
Second is traditional quilts with a scrappy feel. I love batiks, but find they don't work real well in traditional quilts.
Third is the sampler type quilts. I don't much like having to follow directions exactly...
and I love working in black/white and red. I love the play between black and white, and then throw a red heart appliqued to it. It makes the heart pop right out at you. Nancy's Quilt Shop in Las Vegas is the best place I know to get black and white quilts.
