They are what got me back into quilting after a 15 year absence. I don't like them too wonky but love the stacked coins, bricks and boxed squares in the right colors. I still like the traditional, too, but had gotten into kind of a rut.
I will say that the heavily quilted by machine fmq makes some quilts too stiff for my taste. They are beautiful but i like the quilts soft and comfy. Just mho.
