What trend? You don't specify . . .
I go with what I like no matter what the trend is because I didn't know that there was a trend that I was supposed to follow.
My quilts range from art quilt wall hangings of my own interpretation to standard quilts that I quilt on my HandiQuilter.
I don't think there is a "wrong way" to quilt.
My 2 yen!
