I like traditional pieced and modern pieced, not applique. I like geometrics, don't like florals, either in fabric or pieced designs, except for a very few pieced stylized floral designs. I like the modern colors, geometrics, and tesselations of Jinny Beyer's quilts, but not the floral borders. I'm not crazy about the historical reproduction fabrics. I like modern colors better. All of this being said, I've still done a number of appliqued quilts, particularly for baby quilts.
