Good question, Ethel. Caused me to think. <ouch>
In the past 20 years, I have completed perhaps 20 quilts, which isn't enough to base an opinion on, considering all that is out there. However, I consider myself a utility quilter, with emphasis on usability. Bed-sized quilts are quilted in sections; 50" x 60" and smaller in one piece in designs achievable with a walking foot. Simple patchwork appeals to me: squares, rectangles, diamonds.
Free-motion quilting is fun. I can do it, but my machine ($150 Singer) will accomplish only so much before saying NO MORE, so for the sake of a stress-free existence, I listen to the machine. They say "A poor workman blames his tools," but tools do have limitations.
Every quilt I've made has incorporated new methods, and next up is a Drukard's path variation called Make Mine Mocha (lap size), purchased from the Internet somewhere. Looking forward to it.
I guess that's the style I like best--one that stretches me to the next level.
