I had NO taste when I 1st started.Like to think that has changed, but it's colors that have changed the most for me.Love reds/gold/yellows,shades of cream,greens & whatever looks good with them.

Not as much as I would have thought....I did a weeding of fabric last year and it was really HARD to say...nah, don't see myself using THIS! :mrgreen:

Yes, it has changed and keeps changing. When I first started, I swore off batiks....will never touch them, buy them or be interested in them. Now, while I have a small collection of batiks, I can't stay away from them. I love the way they make purses look and I am almost done with my first batik quilt for my son's wedding.

For me at least, it is the fabrics that have changed and not our tastes. I still have fabrics from way back too, along with these modern colors. Love these new bright colors.

I think for most of us, our taste changes as we go along.It depends on the project for me. A pieced or applique, one of my own designs.I think that's the great thing about quilting, you make it yours by color and pattern, and whatever else you decide.

I think as my life has changed, my taste in almost everything has changed as well.

I used to buy a lot of novelty prints, but now I find I'm into pretty florals and novelty prints.

I have gotten into making scrap quilts and find I can use all that older fabric. Looks great in scrap quilts. In fact I haven't made a regular quilt for ages. I am all for scraps. I get the squares and match them up and do alot of chain peicing. Very mindless but very relazing. I have a whole bin of squares ready to chain piece and before you know it you have enough for a quilt. I am still working on Winding Roads quilt blocks.(quiltmaker Sept/Oct 2009) I have complete 2 tops so far and 3 more to go. My kids really like this top and they all want one. I want one to so I guess I just keep making blocks. I use Bonnie Hunters Idea of using scraps and use her patterns alot. Takes care of so much of that older fabric with a few piecs of newer stuff thrown in.

Taste in quilt fabric is like your tastes in everything else. The older fabrics I have, pinks, greens, mauves, etc
now seem to work very well making baby quilts. Also fit in well with my scrappy quilts. But right now I am into batiks and brights. Hope my delight in different fabrics and colors never stops.

i also collected calicos at one time (when i first started) ..i have shelves of them.....what todo????? gonna make bckings for the future quilts
