Well said Jan. I have really eclectic taste...I will buy anything from vintage right through to the latest designs..anything really....calico's, tribal, William Morris and the incredible Kaffe Fassett and the new designers too. Sometimes I even mix 'em. When I create quilts or sewn items for family and friends, I try my best to use fabrics and materials that suit their particular lifestyle/taste....Variety is the spice of life and it pushes me to try new techniques and think creatively...which has to be a good thing.
