i am drawn to vintage patterns, but i can do them in more traditional fabrics. My favorite fabrics are 30s repros...yes - definitely explore all kinds and do what your eye draws you to.

I did a traditional quilt (BOM) without realizing what I was getting into as a newbie. Took me 2 years but finished it and love it. But I do believe art, landscape wallhangings are my favorite especially with free motion. I was such a perfectionist for so many years which stifles creativity. And have found the "artist, master gardener" in me loves flowers, butterflies, seascapes, meadows, etc. But strips and blocks slow me down. I like to take scrapes and pieces of fabric and design a "picture" that I can make up and FM it. But have the knowledge that I can do traditional blocks...

I make whatever takes my fancy at the moment, no particular style in mind. Do what makes you happy and don't limit yourself.

Do you go for warm or cool colors? Most of my stash is made up of warm colors, so when it comes time to put a quilt together, I can pull from these fabrics and know things are going to coordinate.

I would like to see some of these kinds of quilts. I just bought some large florals..not sure what to do with them.
