I get irritated with the magazines sometimes too. I'll flip through a magazine and say, "Wait a minute. This is that quilt with a different fabric line!" Using a brand new fabric line on an old design and then calling it something different does not make it new!
What kind of quilts do I like to make? I design my own things, combining traditional blocks to create something new or making a entirely original block. Lately I have been planning on doing more "traditional" quilts including a Cathedral and a Winding Ways quilt. I've been getting into making t-shirt quilts...I made one out of Slipknot band t-shirts and been collecting Kittie band shirts (for myself) and Superhero/video game shirts (for godson) for future quilts. Right now I'm working on a massive stained glass quilting project that takes up a good portion of my sanity. Lately I've been straying away from my "White Stripes Color Scheme" (the band White Stripes only wore black, red, and white) and trying out new colors as well as choosing fabrics that are not true solids.
So I guess I do a little bit of everything. But definatly don't follow the magazines because I'd end up with a bunch of rail fences and log cabins.
