    I'm pretty new, been six months, so no preferences yet as still at the start of the learning curve. This place has been amazingly helpful.

    I have been quilting for 2 1/2 years. I really love the scrappy quilts and hope to have enough scraps in my stash someday to make one.

    Quilting about 54 years now - no favorite block and almost never make the same block twice in over 100 quilts. There are too many options available to try to repeat anything!

    I'm a member of the 30+group-started with traditional pieced, then appliqued now my favorite is still crazy patch/scrap quilts with a artquilt twist. Love trying all the new surface techniques on fabric and making orginals instead of patterns or kits. Moosegirl

I love all the traditional block,log cabins, and do needleturn applique of old barns and flowers. Love doing the postage stamp size trip around the world. I always make full to king size quilts. Give many away and also sell them.

    Hmmm, I would say I've been quilting off & on the last 20yrs.
    Favourite blocks? For me it depends on the day! I love to applique, love Dresdan plate, & love pinwheels!

    I have been quilting for about 50 years, but only the last 20 have been really productive. (Bunch of grandkids to make quilts for.)I never keep a quilt for myself. One kid or the other "looooves" it, and it goes home with them. I favor traditional blocks, but applique is my favorite thing. I love making baby quilts. Have plenty of recipients for those too. Those grandkids are having kids!

    I made my first quilt about twenty years ago. It was a Lone Star. I made it for my son. He's twenty-three now and he still has that quilt. I made a few simple patchwork quilts over the years. My skills really improved when I bought Harriet Hargrave's book Quilter's Academy Vol.1 about two years ago.
