I think you are right on with this. I always have had this "all or nothing" attitude but very - of the moment. When I'm into traditional I'm IN TO TRADITIONAL with a passion! But the same goes for art quilting and modern when I'm in that groove...I love it all!

I think you are very right!

This is very very true. Really glad you brought that up! I think this has been the trend of the last twenty five years - quick and easy...and that's understandable.
