For myself, I can equate quilting to drinking wines. Sounds funny, I know but if you think about it there is a parallel. When I first started drinking wine, all I wanted was the light fruity taste of the whites. Also, when I began quilting I loved the very traditional patterns and fabrics. Now that I have been drinking wine for a while, my palate has changed and I love the full-bodied reds just as much. Same with the quilting. I still love the tradional but find myself pulled to the artisitic quilts and modern fabrics. Am even thinking of jumping off the cliff (for me) and trying my hand at some that are more modern and artsy to see how I like the look and process. For myself, quilting will always be a growing and evolving journey.
