I find that for the past 12 months or so, I have been drawn to the 1800s reproduction fabrics. I have been purchasing some more modern fabrics too, but I would say they are more subdued than some I have seen out there. I find a smaller print easier to fit into my projects. I also love black with primary/bright colors in a quilt too. All in all, I would say I am more traditional as opposed to modern in my fabric purchase. But then again, if the fabric "speaks to me", then I would probably buy a piece of it just because.
