I have no style.. I make what ever suits my fancy at that time... Go with what you like..you can't go wrong that way. As a quilter you will find that you will drift from colors, styles etc ... that part of the fun and intregue!

What possible difference does it make? They are as many quilting "styles" as there are quilters...certainly scads more than just two.
People change, styles change, tastes change, everything changes...faster now than ever. It serves no purpose at all to put yourself in any kind of labeled box. As long as you can describe what you're talking about with words and pictures so that others understand you, there is no need for labels.

I guess I'm on the "traditional" side as I really don't care for abstract, modern quilts. I like the old patterns best. I don't do applique and don't do art quilts...I'm just a plain old country gal and like the ones my Mom and Grandma made.

Oh my gosh I like everything. My home is Shabby Chic, mauves, sage, cream and pink. But one of my most favorite fabric lines is Kansas troubles. I love the old traditional patterns, but have made lots of primitive looking quilts, crows and sheep etc. I love fabric and all kinds of quilts!

I have been a scrapbooker and paper crafter for many years and developed my "style" in that art form. It made finding my quilt style much easier. I consider myself a Modern quilter who likes straight lines, no borders, lots of white, sashing, and most of the fabrics I use have white in them. I also use white, grey or some other form of solid for a neutral.

I have no preference on style. After finding a fabric or pattern I love, the quilt grows from there. I never really plan a quilt. They usually start with a fabric and another and another......
I like all styles of fabric so I might do a quilt that is all polka- dots and then do one in batiks and then a scrappy. It is all good.

I have been quilting for about 14 years and I still do not have a defined style, I make what appeals to me and I do tend to go more to the bright side. Like others have said if pressed I would say I am more contemporary.
