Yes, I have changed my way of thinking about traditional quilt patterns and scrappy quilting. Previously I didn't like traditional patterns OR scrappy, but Bonnie Hunter makes them both so appealing! She's won me over. Now I collect and cut scraps like crazy and have made at least 4 scrappy quilts in the past year. I think our interaction with other quilters and their styles is really good for opening our minds to diffferent things we may have never known we would love!
