I am like you as I prefer older/traditional patterns and fabrics but I do LOVE the new methods of cutting and piecing. I LOVE the look of hand quilting but I rarely hand quilt any longer as I prefer the speed of machine quilting. My two most favorite quilt shops specialize in traditional fabrics:
Quilter's Station in Lee's Summit, Missouri
Homesteader Quilting in Mexico, Missouri
and...okay...one more:
Prairie Quilts in Hennessey, Oklahoma (but they have a very small selection of traditional fabrics but it's in a small rural community, in a very old building and the staff is just about as nice as they come!
