DD & I were discussing this just this morning. We decided that we are just more traditional in our approach to quilting. We don't make the smaller wall hangings, table runners, etc - only full size quilts meant to be used (& sometimes abused). My main objection is that some of the colors are not ever found in nature - lol. I think a lot of these newer collections would be great in msaller items - something that you will quit using when you grow tired of it. I don't think they will have the "staying power" that some of the older fabrics have. I consider them more of a fad than a trend - just my opinion - but for those who love them "more power to you" - in quilting there truly is something for everyone.
