    It sure has. I have a ufo started years ago and just have to force myself to work on it. But I plan to finish the thing this summer.

    I have found that when I get rid of something I want it back years later. My theory is to keep it all, you never know. I am going thru a period now that I like to mix it all up, (Kaffe, Civil War etc.) so I'm using some older stuff up.

    I think that as long as they continue to create more designs and textures we will continue to change what we like to work with the best.

    I think my taste changes with the ideas I get from this board, magazines, etc. So yes it has changed because they are always changing to get us to buy more fabric. LOL

    oh heck yes. At one time, I thought Batiks were - well, awful. Now I have more batiks than any other fabric!!!

    The older stash makes great Turning Twenty quilts.....!

    I love batiks and brights but challenged myself to go for the softer "old fashion" fabrics and now love them too. My batiks are sitting there waiting for me to figure out the best project to use them in, of course I have enough to make several projects. I do tend to buy what I like and sometimes don't even have a project in mind but the price is so good, have to have it, be it batik, brights or soft.

    I don't think my fabric tastes have changes, but I do think the way I use the fabric has changed. I still incorporate the old fabric.

    The old prints tend to be small and can be used as blenders, linings for bags, etc. Large pieces can be backings.
