I guess a little of everything. I love the 30's scrappy quilts but don't want to make one myself from the beginning. I think my favorite quilt to make was my wall hanging of my cat Hobo. So pictorials. Love art quilts. I guess like colors I don't have a favorite. Maybe just a favorite of the moment.

I have a heavy traditional influence, but I like to play with the designs. I go crazy over batiks, but I am a true fabriholic and was long before I began quilting. Most 30's fabrics leave me cold, however. I am also traditional in wanting my quilts to be utilitarian most of the time.

I quess I'm a traditional kind of gal. I like the looks of the old fastioned quilts. To me they just look so comfy and warm and just waiting for someone to cuddle up in them. Some of the modern quilts make me think I don't even want to sit on them. I have given them for gifts and have to beg them to use them. That's what their for.

I really like traditional stuff, like a lot of the contemporary patterns (say the year 2000 forward), can't stand the current revival of fabrics from the 1960's, 1970's, didn't think much of fabric from the 1980's and 1990's, and I love all of Moda's and much of Timeless Treasures's fabric lines.
