No, I actually love it. I have, however, made all types and have
enjoyed them all. This past year I've gone back to making a
lot of scrap quilts and I had forgotten just how wonderful they
are (well, to me they are,ha!) Doesn't surprise me though because we lean toward early American antiques and enjoy
looking at them every day. I love to pick out the fabrics and
sewing the blocks, watching each one come together. It's
always hard to pick the one I like best. But my favorite part
is the quilting. I hate to put it down once I start. One thing
about quilting, we can all do just what we enjoy doing.

I'm made some traditional quilts but my favorites where the wimsical ones where I started with a theme and added all the details I could think of to tell a story. I started making my grandson an airplane quilt and before I was finished in addition to airplanes it has a runway, flight school complete with resturant, a tower, a gas pump small planes parked on the tarmack, larger planes in the flight pattern waiting to land...lightning bolts in the sky...etc, etc.

I try to keep several different kinds of quilts going so that when I grow weary of working on something, I can put it away in its container and get out something refreshing for a little while. It helps a bunch!

I like both kinds of quilts. I also enjoy trying new and different techniques too. I think it is colors and subject matter that draw me in .... that does not always mean "my" colors either. Quilting is a wonderful way of exploring that creative part of me.
