I think I would have to say I tend toward more traditional quilts, however, I love batik fabrics and have, hopefully, collected enough batiks in enough colors to make a Boston Commons quilt - saw one on the cover of a quilt magazine years ago, made by Helen Weineman of Heartbeat Quilts, and decided that I have to make it for me. I love making quilts for our family reunions where I pick a color, based on family colors, my family members send fabric, I make the quilt and we raffle it off. My favorite quilt had to be a Dresden Plate that I did with bright blue plates on a white background, all of which happily coordinated as if I had chosen them myself, and which one brother proclaimed was my "best quilt ever", and that was before he won the quilt. LOL. But to me, it's all about the fabrics, as they can make the quilts "sing". I just like making all of them for a variety of reasons.
