I agree with the others, not outdated. Only some of us who are quilters follow the trends and know what's current. Outside the quilting world, not so much.
I do have sort of a funny story to tell. I have quilts planned on my bucket list that have taken years for me to get the skills or the fabrics or the time. Way back when I first started quilting (so early 80s), I wanted to do a Houndstooth. Never saw one in person, not at a show, not in a book, just the pattern block. So about 20 years later I was finally ready to get started and M'liss Rae Hawley came out with her Fat Quarter book and there it was and so I took it off my list. I was telling my friend at quilt guild the story and the lady in front of us was cracking up -- turns out it was M'liss who was our featured speaker.
I ended up making the top about a year or so ago (so another 20 years), after all this time nobody knows or cares the story!
