What's your style?
 
Traditional, Contemporary or Modern quilting, I love them all. I can't seem to focus on just one style. Anybody else feel this way?

tezell0801 11-20-2012 05:18 AM

Same here, still new to quilting and have not yet developed as "style". I love them all.

QuiltnNan 11-20-2012 05:33 AM

i don't want to pigeon hole myself into one particular style. overall, i'm a traditional person, but i try all sorts of new things.

pollyjvan9 11-20-2012 05:36 AM

I really love all styles and seem to swing wildly from project to project. Sometimes just the fabrics I have pulled have lying around is what inspires me. Just recently I have been working on folk art type quilts.

Scraplady 11-20-2012 05:37 AM

My favorite quilts to make are scrappy quilts, but they come in all styles. I think it's kind of fun to mix styles--traditional fabrics in a contemporary setting or vice versa. I'll try just about anything once.

Tashana 11-20-2012 05:50 AM

Whatever rocks my boat. I know that I lack in many techniques to try different styles but I will get there, eventually.

Tartan 11-20-2012 05:53 AM

I make quilts from patterns that excite or intrigue me. Traditional, modern etc. it doesn't matter to me if it catches my eye, matches my skills or stretches them a little, I put it on my bucket list.

Lori S 11-20-2012 07:11 AM

My style will fluctuate.. it seems if I just finished a modern..then my next one will be traditional. I go back and forth. Once I met a quilter who told me I was not a true"artist" as I had not developed a distinct "style". I beg to differ with that concept.

Me too!! I couldn't have said it better.

Jingle 11-20-2012 09:58 AM

I don't have a clue. I just make whatever appeals to me.

Scissor Queen 11-20-2012 10:14 AM

I would have to say my style is mostly contemporary. I'm not crazy about the modern quilts lack of pattern. I don't care for any of the reproduction styles of fabrics, 30s, civil war, etc and I don't care much for the patterns that went with those styles of fabrics.

Buckeye Rose 11-20-2012 10:52 AM

I consider myself a newbie still to quilting, 3 yrs of quiltmaking, so there are still so many quilts that I want to make and all different styles. I've made a traditional sampler quilt, a bargello, and everything inbetween, with the exception of paper piecing. I love them all and can't wait to finish the current WIP so I can get on to the next! Quilting for me is a form of therapy....makes me focus so the stress just melts away (except when ripping!).

kateyb 11-20-2012 11:43 AM

Whatever strikes my fancy on any given day. Right now I'm doing scrappy because I need to use them up. I have made a lot of kaliedoscope quilts though.

ghostrider 11-20-2012 12:01 PM

Today's Tuesday, so it must be three dimensional...yup, 3-D Tuesday.

hperttula123 11-20-2012 12:18 PM

I do a little bit of everything. It's more fun that way.

PaperPrincess 11-20-2012 02:46 PM

You mean you are supposed to pick only one?????

CarolinePaj 11-20-2012 03:17 PM

Love 'em all and want to try them all!

hugs

Jackie Spencer 11-20-2012 06:53 PM

I love all the traditional patterns, I just seem to gravitate toward them, but if I see a pattern I like, I make it. I finished the pattern Eldon this summer. I do like the more intriquet patterns tho.

Sunnye 11-20-2012 06:53 PM

I love everything except, possibly, traditional.

Dolphyngyrl 11-20-2012 07:12 PM

No I am more traditional, not really into modern. I do like some contemporary but still stick mostly to traditional

Silver Needle 11-20-2012 08:09 PM

I want to do almost all quilts I see, but there isn't enough time left in my lifetime. So I just go with whatever floats my boat at the moment.

cowgirlquilter 11-20-2012 08:29 PM

If I had to categorize myself it would be more traditional but not really set into one mode......

TanyaL 11-20-2012 08:43 PM

My favorite style to make is absolutely eclectic.

slicksister 11-20-2012 11:20 PM

Definetly a modern quilter

carolynjo 11-22-2012 06:32 AM

I make mostly scrappy quilts, so I don't have a particular style. I am still trying to use up bins of inherited fabrics.

barbo117 11-22-2012 06:50 AM

I love all quilts, but I tend to lean towards folk art, theme or country styles. I love applique either hand or machine and seems like every quilt I make winds up with some type of applique on it. I really want to try to move myself forward into different styles. I love the Civil War and also the 1930's quilts. I think we all have our own styles even if we don't realize it!

MargeD 11-22-2012 07:33 AM

I think my style is determined by the particular project I am working on at the moment, as I think I like all styles, although I'm not good at art quilts, but don't really want to be pigeonholed into one style from another.

nancyw 11-22-2012 07:55 AM

I'm pretty traditional but I make all kinds when called for.

caspharm 11-22-2012 09:19 AM

I have done traditional when I first started (did the Thimbleberries clubs for a couple of years), probably did some contemporary, and have done a couple of my own layouts. It depends on your personal choices, not everyone falls into one category.

Debbie C 11-22-2012 09:20 AM

with my daughters still in their 20's, i seem to be making more contemporary designs - must say I'm liking the results!

BeverlyJo 11-22-2012 09:56 AM

I guess I make more Traditional quilt than any other type, but I like all different kinds. I love to try new patterns. I agree with others....whatever catches my eye.

My time 11-22-2012 10:43 AM

Eclectic! In not only my quilting, but clothing and decorating.

normasews 11-22-2012 10:44 AM

Like you, I love them all. I'm currently loving scrappy patchwork.

Sierra 11-22-2012 12:06 PM

I bounce between "standard looking" quilts, landscape and a few "art". It depends on for whom I am making a quilt or my mood, usually for whom. All are fun and fulfilling for me.

Scakes 11-22-2012 04:56 PM

Don't think I really have a style. I see a quilt or pattern I like and make it. Different patterns appeal to me at different times; for different people, etc

sewbizgirl 11-22-2012 06:47 PM

I love the moderns and that seems to be the way I lean in my quilts.

jcrow 11-22-2012 08:11 PM

I love modern quilts. The ones where there's a vastness of one color and in a corner is some blocks. I like that look. I like Elizabeth Hartman's style of quilts. She is so awesome!! That's the modern I love. I also love civil war, traditional, applique, paper pieced, English paper piecing, almost everything BUT I'm not crazy about quilts that people paint and glue things to. I'm not explaining myself well, but it's like they are painting on a canvas and calling it quilting. How can someone compete with a great painter who decides to paint on fabric and call it a quilt? I don't think it's quilting...it's painting. Call it what it is. IMHO!!!!!

captlynhall 11-22-2012 08:16 PM

I don't know. If I see something I like and think I can do it, then I would go for it. So far, I guess I have done traditional.

Mariposa 11-22-2012 08:23 PM

I do whatever strikes my fancy for the moment, or perhaps what "style" the recipient may like. I do lean towards traditional, and paper piecing. I love intricate challenges as well! Not much on the modern things tho.
I enjoy seeing everyone's different creations, whatever style they may be! :)

nstitches4u 11-23-2012 05:48 PM

I want to try them all too. Variety is the spice of life.
