The quilt in your avatar looks like the 'Grandmother's Garden' pattern ... is it English paper pieced patchwork?
If so then I may just need to note your name to pick your brains in the future!
I love the irregular nature of that quilt. Whilst I also appreciate the perfect smooth oblongs of bed quilts I am at the moment leaning towards the 'see how it grows' organic type form - quilting as I go perhaps (haven't quite looked into that yet) and seeing where I want to put each clump of patchwork pieces for visual effect.
