I don't really have a style. It depends upon what 'sparks' me and gets my creative juices going.

I'm not a fan of art deco style, for example, but my son likes it a lot. Therefore, I'm making him two art deco wall hangings in the stained glass style.

After that I'll do a reproduction of the Jane Austen coverlet for my Victorian-ish style living room (yeah, I know she's Regency era but I still want that quilt for my living room. lol).

When that's done I'll start on my renaissance-ish style quilt for my renaissance-ish style bedroom.

I think I am really drawn to any of the old traditional patterns and I like to work with reproduction fabrics. I think each to their own and that is good to have variety in life. Modern style quilts are not my cup of tea but I am sure there are a lot of quilters that like that style.

I tend to gravitate to more modern design quilts. Modern patterns and batiks for fabric choices are my favorites. If I'm not working with batiks, bright colors are a must.

Of recent I have not worked on quilts, but lots and lots of jelly roll rugs and table runners, which I am enjoying, to me they are a modern pattern. Picking fabric that is modern, and trendy in the home decor world, and blend well together, is somewhat out of my comfort zone, as they are not batiks for a block.
​l have been amazed at how thread color can completely change the whole feel of a rug/table runner.

I like traditional patterns, though I also admire improv quilts. I enjoy using many small pieces, all the way down to crumbs, and like to design as I go. I have to work at controlling color, as I typically want to throw everything into a quilt, and I am learning that if I do that I at least need some neutrals or a uniting color to hold it all together.

As you may already know, I prefer asymmetrical quilt designs since I get bored making the same block over and over but I do those, too, when a pattern calls out to me. And, of course, I love Bright but softer colors and soft florals like Tilda fabric line appeals to me, as well. Plus, I like quilts that are pieced and applique mixed. Not a civil war or traditional quilter lover but I’ve made several...just not a fav..

That Jane Austen coverlet is gorgeous.. a lot of work with hand-piecing all those diamonds. . can’t wait to see yours...

It is gorgeous which is why I'm excited to make it even though I'll be 'cheating'. The fabric is printed to look like it has 2500+ pieces. All I have to do is sandwich it and start sewing. Maybe one day I'll make a quilt that actually has that many pieces but not yet.

I got the fabric from here https://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/browse/14278
And found the pattern here https://www.sewandquilt.co.uk/produc...-quilt-pattern

Something that helps me define my style:
Take photos and print of your own favorite quilts.
Copy and print photos of quilts you especially like.
Collect photos from magazines that you especially like.
Make a collage on poster board
Then evaluate them for similarities:
1. Symmetry
2. Traditional, contempory, art, modern
3. Colors; value, intensity, hue
4. Atmosphere; calm, exciting, happy, etc.
5. Amount of detail
6. Era you like: cottage, primitive, etc.

Also list things you don't like

Keep going.

I tend to be more traditional in my quilts, both in colors and design. I love greens, blues, reds, with a pop of cheddar yellow thrown in. Kim Diehl is one of my favorite designers.
