I was watching the quilt show and it hit me that the big name quilters have a "style" of quilt they make.
I don't have one. I was wondering if anyone else did and how it came about.
Kinda like Ricky Tims and his Rapsody quilts,If you see one you think Ricky Tims.
I know I am not particularly drawn to make traditional style quilts anymore.
I am all at sixes and sevens right now. I don't know what I want to do at all.

No, I have not found my "niche" yet. Right now I am into quickie quilts to give to charities, uses up my stash, gives me a chance to practice on the long arm, and fulfills my need to fill the world with love via quilts. I have lots of various ideas in my head and admire those that can have a "special style".

I'm mixed up, too. I've always made quilts with lots of black and batiks. Then I started the Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt and had to totally turn around my color thoughts. Now I find I'm drawn to bright florals (but still with black). No one would understand my stash-what a mixture! I guess if we did the same thing all the time we'd get bored (and also wouldn't be able to shop as much LOL)

Well... I'm heavily into Civil War era reproduction fabrics and antique doll quilts. They go perfectly with my antique doll collection, and I don't feel so bad if I make a mistake in one of my own...

I also collect antique doll furniture, and the doll beds are sooo easy to find. They look so old fashioned and sweet all made up with an old doll quilt!

Mine are scrappies for the most part! Love scrappies, so forgiving and so fun to put together! Love tradtionals! The simplified and the scrappies! Nothing complex for me! This is my way of unwinding after a complex day!

Scrappy, retro, bizarre with the odd traditional thrown in to further confuse.

I like the traditional blocks, with color variations. While I admire scrappy, it makes my OCD mind go bonko and my eyes get goofy....so I don't do anything in that style. I love oriental fabric (hence two swaps I hosted) though admit that I am being drawn to red, black and white. Not that I have anyplace in my house to put it....
