I think that some popular quilting designs are regional. I make table toppers or runners when I want to try a new block. Then if I really like it I can do a bigger quilt later. For example I did one turkey tracks block - never again. It went into a Thanksgiving quilt for my mom.
I personally like making stack and whack fan quilts. So much fun for me.
Right now I am trying to concentrate on UFO's and my scrap stash.
I have also been having fun with a quilting design I came up with. So far I have made 8 and they are all different. Depends on where you do different cuts and arrangement of blocks.
I'm not really crazy about sampler quilts.

Just my personal comment .. its seems like verything old is "new" again , from civil war, scrappies , string foundations, crazy quilts. Some done in real scraps, period fabrics, others in new fabrics. But a the most common thread to most is the use of more fabrics in a single quilt... Lots and lots of colors/shades , print variety etc.
I think in tough times people want colors in their lives ! If you look at the reproduction fabrics of the depression area , they were quite colorful for the time.

It's really changed how my quilts look. And a man is the person who is showing how to do this. I think that is so cool.
