I love the traditional blocks but find I will work on just about anything. Not crazy about the modern quilts. As for colors, I started with earth tones. Then I ventured into the repro fabrics ( which I did not like). Now they are some of my favorites. I have sewn with such a variety that it is hard for me to make scrap quilts. You can’t put CW with 30’s with children’s. Oh the dilemma. I better sort them out and get busy
