I tend to prefer making improv or modern quilts from scraps and crumbs with plenty of open space left for quilting so I can do some intricate quilting in them. I also enjoy making art quilts with a lot of layering, thread painting and texture. If I had to define a style for my quilts other than art quilts, I’d call most of them controlled scrappy. I do make other types of quilts as well, and will often follow a pattern or take a class when I want to learn a new technique, but the quilts that are my own design lean more toward nature inspired art quilts and controlled scrappy modern improv with lots of quilting.
Although I love looking at intricately pieced quilts done by others, I find that I don’t enjoy making them.
