I am a traditional kind of gal

I love the traditional patterns ,You can just never go wrong using them.

I am an updated traditional quilter.  Love highlighting great fabric patterns sparked against solids.  Sometimes I use traditional quilting stitching, sometimes a combination of traditional and modern stitching patterns, and sometimes as little as possible.  I let the fabric speak and love creating with needle and thread!

I am a more traditional quilter except when I am paper piecing - then I like to experiment with colors but I must say that my 12 year old granddaughter and beginning quilter has opened my eyes to lots of exciting color combinations.

One word? Evolving. As a new quilter, I change as I find new techniques. But the traditional quilts tie me back to the women who went before me. What a charge to work on an old pattern and know that hundreds, thousands of women whose names or stories we could never know made the same stitches the same way I am. They held their needles like I do, took that odd stitch at the corner. It makes me part of a long, very strong and proud history. As I sit and stitch, I can feel their hands working over the same pattern and we are linked. I wonder if one of them thought of those who would come after and work the pattern too?

I am a stitch in the ditch girl because I use vibrant fabrics and patterns.  I don't want the quilting to take away from the design of the quilt.

I am a more traditional quilter, but I love to learn new things, or new ways to do old things. Some tricks are so simple, why didn't I think of that myself..

I prefer traditional quilting but do like learning new ways to put things together. Also enjoy designing my own ideas using those traditional blocks, especially with using colors I like best. And someday I plan to finally use free-motion quilting to finish my quilts!

I'm a beginner, rejoicing in all the creative opportunities opening up to me at 72!  While I'm a beginner at quilting, I'm not new to the needle; I've been doing embroidery, knitting, and some crochet all my life, as well as making clothing (especially when my daughter, now 46, was a toddler :)  

I'm still evolving!  Always trying something new.

I enjoy using traditional as well as modern fabrics in my quilts.  I machine quilt most of the time because I can finish more quilts and fabric creations.  I have many quilt ideas in my head and so little time to create all of them.  Isn't that a problem with a lot of quilters?

i am still a beginner, but the direction I lean towards is easy traditional styles but I would really like to get into the artistic, design my own and make hand painted material to go with it ie: Cindy Walter style.

I love the traditional quilt patterns.  I think the only thing that has really changed about my use of color is the combination itself.  Now, I think I experiment more with blending colors that I might not have used years ago.  Also, I used to use a lot of muslin, and I stay totally away from that now.

I am still experiencing all kinds of different techniques with the guild.  It is great!  We have a lady who is a designer and giving classes at a quilting shop and then she comes once to twice a month to give us a class for a special quilt that we will be making this fall.  This lady is an artist.  She has won many awards for making of her quilts and wallhangings.  I look forward going back to the guild this fall.

I am a traditional quilter, but love the paper piecing.  I like hand quilting best of all but am doing more and more of machine quilting and trying my hand at free motion quilting.

I was a "traditional" quilter...loved the sampler type quilts & old fashioned patterns...until my dear stepson asked me "Do you think you'll ever make me a quilt?"  That question melted my heart, and made a panic set in. He is young with a very modern decor....what to do? I had always loved those "Grandma type" quilts. One of my quilting PIC's (Partner in Crime) spent hours with me, sorting through pattern books, and finally we came up the perfect quilt for a modern look. Success! he loved it, and was thrilled! So I guess I have broadened my quilting ideas a bit...thanks to David, I tried something totally new and so not me...but I loved it too!

I began quilting using traditional patterns, but now I am mainly using contemporary patterns and batiks.

I'm a beginning quilter and love to try anything that catches my eye. It sometimes gets me in a little over my head, but that helps me learn new things.

My quilting style is quite varied.  I do just about every kind you can think of using a machine and by hand.

I guess I'd have to say I'm pretty traditional with the actual designs and look of a quilt but, I love to use lots of color - the bolder, the better.

I am a more traditionalist, but I like new things and experimenting with them. I enjoy hand quilting as it is relaxing to me.

I do a bit of this & that.  I do a lot of art quilts so it's mostly free form.  But also traditional....shells, fans, etc.

I still consider myself a  newbie  when it comes to quilting.  I've only got 1 finished project, and 3 others started, but I would probably consider myself a mix between modern, contemporary, and traditional.  I tend to take traditional patterns and use modern and contemporary fabric choices.

I am a very eclectic quilter - I love all styles.  However, I am trying to narrow my choices (too many UFOs accumulating).   I love the traditional quilts and the variations of them - when they are completed, they are always beautiful.  But I also love landscape quilts - they really challenge me.   If I had to make a choice it would be applique - all kinds - I love to do any kind of handwork.  

I am trying to learn new things, like hand quiltling.    I was just ludkey enough to be able to go to Marion, In. To the Quilters Hall of Fame, where they inducted Elanor Burns this past month.  I was able to take a couple of classes on Hand Quilting from the very nice ladies at the Hall of Fame Guild, and one on quilting on your home machine.  Both very interesting, so now I am trying my hand at both of these new things.  So as to my style, I am just trying to learn more things rather that just a certain style.  I have really enjoyed my time Quitling!

Having only a completed a small number of quilt I would say so far I definitely lean toward traditional quilting... However, as I progress I may want to try something different (I admit to wanting to make a bBrgello one day...). You never know what the future holds.

As a new quilter I guess I lean towards traditional quilting ,even tho I love designing my own things,I study techniques of quilters from the past to present.

I am more a traditional style quilter but enjoy also modern traditional patterns.  Updating a tried and true pattern just bumps it up a bit and makes it fun to try.

I am mainly a traditional quilter but love learning new techniques.  Some of the real modern paterns really haven't caught my fancy unless they have a traditional twist.  Maybe I'm like the old dog that can't learn new tricks.

I am probably mostly a traditional quilter although I try new things all the time.  I've dabbled in art quilting and my favorite thing is to scale down and make mini traditional quilts.

I dabble in them all. I've only been quilting 4-5 years now. I like trying different patterns with each quilt.

I dabble in them all. I like to find patterns I think fit the personality of the person I'm making it for, this means I might make a traditional quilt followed by a contemporary quilt.

I tend to be a traditional quilter, but I like bright colors and am always looking for a challenge so I often reach into the comtemporary arena for something different.

I like to dabble in a little bit of everything.  I have made traditional quilts, but I am attempting some modern styles, and I want to dabble in 3D dimensional quilting.  I love all styles, and I really love a good challenge!

I like the traditional the best, but marvel at the pictorial. I classify myself as a confident-beginner and would love to learn to do pictorial at some point in my life.

I am definitely a traditional quilter, I love old historic blocks, especially stars.

I love all different kinds of quilts.  Over the years I have learned that every color does not have to match perfectly.  This makes for more interest in my quilts.  Sampler quilts are now my favorite just because of all the variety.

I am a traditional quilter.  I love the old patterns.  I LOVE re-writing the old patterns using newer techiques and shortcuts!!  I LOVE looking at old quilts & quilt pictures, figure out the pattern, write the pattern, and lastly - trying the pattern. Sew Much Fun!!

My style of quilting is a mixture of all three. I take patterns I like and mix them together to obtain an updated and unique look.

Do I have to pick one style?  I like traditional when I am needing a safe mode, too much happening in life and I need some basic structure.  Most of the time, I find myself happier with newer designs that have a little bit of everything in the quilt, some applique, some embroidery, different block styles and it all goes together for a unique look.  These are the ones that keep me going.  Gotta love a good challenge now and then.  Plus, it keeps you up on new designs and you can decide if you really like a new twist in your quilts or not.  Quilting is fun.

I love the traditional styles in colors of fall. I love the rust golds, browns, and ambers. I also love the 30's-40's repos.

I enjoy both the traditional quilt patterns as well as exploring interpretations of background styles as well as creating new quilt blocks to add as an accent to a very personal quilt such as I am currently making for my oldest grandson.  The three personal blocks I have created for this quilt are, the crescent moon the night he was born, a sunrise to reflect the light he has brought to my life, a baby bear....the name his Mother has affectionally called him, and a stylized interpretation of a Native American Basket to  reflect his heritage.

I am brand new to quilting, so I don't have a style, yet. I am just excited when my seams kiss! I hope, as I progress, I will be open to all styles.

I have a kinda of strange style because I incorporate my digitized images, embroidered images, into a quilt with free-motion quilting and fancy sewing-machine stitches. There is nothing out of bounds in my quilting--I use any technique that gives me the artistic touch that I am looking for. My only personal requirement is that the quilt is usable as a blanket and durable.

I like the traditional patterns and fabrics tho i do like to try other things as well

I love to play with my scraps! I have learned that I get tired of repetition and using a variety of fabrics and colors is what I love! It becomes to me like the artist's paints, you can't use just one or two or three but  need all the colors to create something beautiful.

Quilting style is like a work in progress and change is part of learning.  Repo fabrics and patterns are my main stay but I like to spread out and experience some of all.  Art quilts still try my patience but something has to be done with the leftovers.  Quilt shop fabrics are the best and Bernina is my sewing companion.  We will not go into my stash as it can fuel many quilters.

As I grow older, I am finding that I like to try everything. My LQS is so wonderful--what they show me, I want to try. I never cared for patchy quilts--now I love them. I am 79 years of age, and hope and pray that I live long enough to try it all. I'm amazed at all the new techniques, etc. out there. I have always preferred pastel colors, yesterday I purchased an Amish quilt of the month with the most vivid colors I ever saw and I just can't wait to work on it. I have been around quilters most of my life, but never was allowed to quilt--just to play under the frame. How I wish I had started earlier (I started quilting in 1993 when I retired). I Love it all.

Traditional but I love paper piecing, too!

I started out more traditional, depending on patterns, instructions, etc to get me through my quilts.  But lately I have been branching out and like to trying just about anything.  My latest challennge is pictoral quilts and those made from my photos.  Definetely a challenge.

The Add Comment link isn't working so I will try this again.  I don't have any one particular style that I favor...I love them all and find that I prefer different styles at different times...depending on my mood.  That's probably why I have so many UFOs lurking on my closet shelves.  lol

I would say my style is traditional, but I like to experiment and try new things sometimes.

I'd say mostly traditional with a little modern thrown in.  I love the white space around traditional blocks.  Sometimes, I just have to go for something bold and bright though.

As a retired Home Ec teacher, I like it all. I enjoy learning new things as well as doing things which are traditional.

I prefer traditional with a few changes here and there and am still excited about learning how to make new and different patterns & better ways of assembling. With my new Ellisimo Gold I've also added some embroidered blocks in a quilt I'm making for my grandson.  Seems there is always some new idea or pattern I see and want to try, with each quilt-guess that's what keeps us quilting.

I don't know that I am sure what kind of quilter I am just yet. I think I have a little bit of modern, a little more contemporary, and probably mostly traditional. And yet, those I have quilted thus far are more a blend of contemporary and traditional, than modern. However, still in the process of learning new things, so who knows what I'll end up really being: traditional, modern, or contemporary?!? I'm still learning, and loving most of the lessons I get from everything, and I do mean everything!, on this site and Quilty classes I've taken.

WOW!!  My eye catches something extremely interesting and most times difficult. That is what I like to always be challenged.  But I quilt everything I can, it doesn't make any difference. I just love to quilt.

I would call myself an "updated traditional" quilter.  I love trying new techniques to make more difficult quilting blocks easier.  I love it when someone comments on how difficult a quilt must have been!

I like to make different types of patterns to learn new skills.  I seem to be making more applique quilts these days, and enjoy designing each block as I go.  I am currently making a quilt that is  made up of blocks that each feature a different Owl.

I guess I'd describe myself as an art quilter who has become a traditional gal!  I started my quilting life doing fusible applique` wall hangings....after a couple of classes in traditional quilting I have converted!

I haven't decided yet, I'm a newbie!

I am a traditional quilter who especially enjoys making scrap quilts.

I am just learning to quilt.  I am trying all kinds of techniques and loving every minute I work on them.

Mixed--I seem to love it all!

I'm a traditonal quilter who likes relatively simple designs.  My time is very limited and I like to see results quickly!  However, I just finished a pieced quilt I started 8 years ago and it is at the longarm quilter's as we speak!  I'm not a fan of paper piecing and curved piecing gives me indigestion, although I like the results when I've taken the time to piece all those curves.  I like to piece, but have a hard time turning the top into a finished quilt.

I generally do traditional quilts with applique.

Quilting style? I'm not sure if I have a quilting. When working on a project I tend to create in the way that seems the best for that particular project.

I do alittle of all styles.  I look through all designs and pick one out and then I go through my stash and choose then from the fabric if it is going to be traditional or contemporary.  My mood chooses my style on each project.

I dabble in all kinds, whatever catches my eye and my mind at the time.  There are many UFO's...

I'm not really sure what I am! I consider myself still new - only been quilting for 4 years now. I do whatever appeals to me at the time. I love lots of color so I'm always buying colorful fabrics then keep my eyes out for a pattern that might go with what I have.  I keep saying that one of these days I'll pick a pattern and THEN buy the fabric to go with it!

I don't know if I can classify myself as any specific type of quilter. I like to combine different fabrics with and see what comes out.

I have always thought of myself as a Traditionalist, but the more exposure I have to the modern quilting style the more I am drawn to its charms. I find I get excited working with solid colors, improvisional piecing, and negative spaces. I am loving the straight-line quilting designs.  This old dog is learning new tricks everyday and loving it!

As a new quilter, I am trying all kinds and so far enjoying all kinds.

I guess you could say I am still a beginner.  Have made baby quilts, table runners, place mats and have 3 kingsized quilts in various stages of assembly.  So that is why I feel I am still a beginner, haven't finished those 3 stitting in the closet!

I am a traditional quilter but I do try to step out of my box to learn new things

Contemporary and modern...although I always enjoy a great quilt, no matter what style.

I thought I was a traditional quilter, but I am finding I like a lot of the more modern looks as well.

I am basically a traditional quilter, but I never turn down the challenge of something  different.  The love of scrap quilts means all fabrics have a style that I can't resist.

I'm pretty traditional, but I tend to just go with whatever catches my eye :)

I am willing and love to try any type of quilting at least once, but I think my favorite is traditional quilts.

Traditional quilter.  I love how geometric shapes come together forming great patterns.

Traditional.  Simple patterns, using fabric to create interest.

I am traditional/contemporary and I love to mix applique with pieced blocks.  And yes, my tastes have changed over the years.  

I like to use any and every technique that will get me the results I want and also  allow me to go with the creative juices that hopefully are flowing when I am creating an art quilt.

My favourite is applique as I believe I can better express myself this way!

I love batiks in rich deep colors & I love color progressions. I have combined these loves with a single printed fabric to create wonderful & unexpected baby quilts. Imagine Tiffany stained glass grapes interwoven with shades of green, blue & purple batiks. Or a set of crayons made of a variety of batiks  That's been my style.

I love the traditional!  That is what quilting is all about for me.

I dibble and dabble in about everything.

I love traditional, particularly reproduction fabrics and patterns.

I love traditional, particularly reproduction fabrics and colors.

i tell myself i'm contemporarily modern, but i just work at things that appeal to me.

I'm a modern quilter.  Love to learn the traditional methods and then see how far I can bend the rules to get a fresh new look.  Wonky, curved, bright colors combined with curved quilting motifs are my favorites.  Something to make the viewer think while viewing my quilts.

I like doing small scrap quilts. I am now working on 2 lap quilts that were started in th 1899's. I am making them for the descendents.

I do alot of embroiderysmall wall hangings.

I'm from the traditional side. I like softer looking quilts.

I'd have to say that I'm a dabbler. I like it all!! From hand piecing and applique to intricate paper piecing to art quilts.

Elastic!  My third quilt was "Tennessee Waltz" and it turned out great! My friend enjoyed it for years before she went to dance among the stars with her husband.  I like to challenge/stretch myself and tackled a small donation quilt - totally hand made.  If you don't stretch out of your comfort zone you will keep making the same thing over and over (not a totally bad thing).  So far I've only made two of the same pattern all because I used five colors instead of three colors like the rest of my class. So stretching gave me two quilts (Around the Twist) to give to long time friends and an appreciation of directions.  I have always liked to go driving and get "lost" and that's how my quilting is.  I stretch and grow and get lost and found and enjoy the journey.

I like the traditional quilts.  I have a tendency to be start a quilt and work and work until I know how it is going to look, then I will kind of back off on working on it and get involved in yet another quilt and keep on working on both of them and at some point in time perhaps a third quilt will get into the mix.  However i usually do get them finished and sometimes finish them almost at the same time.  

I am  just a quiter,I don't know if there is one or the other.I just quilt to the easiest pattern that I can do.I am not as good as some quilters I just do it to relax and enjoy doing it.

I am a quilter with no real experiance and do it for relaxion and enjoyment.One day would like to learn to do all the other best quilting there is.

I would say I am a traditional quilter that doesn't mind using modern techniques to get the result.  I love applique, but would rather use Steam a Seam 2 or Pellon to make pieces than using turn applique.  I also like machine sewing my quilts rather than hand sewing all the time.  Though hand sewing is fun, machine sewing on my schedule makes things go faster.

I always like to try and put my own stamp on any quilt I create.

I don't have one. I like to try new things all the time. As a machine embroiderer I do love digitizing something and making a quilt out of it.

I'm a beginner and have been doing projects that look really easy. The quilting itself scares me, so need to get brave and start with the tradional desighns.

I don't think I know enough to have a style. I'm trying to learn the right way to do things, but then I like to break the rules too.

I'm new to quilting but my style would be traditional. I love the simple colorful patterns.

I have been quilting 30+ years, so I consider myself a "Traditional Quilter". It is these old blocks that I am drawn to.

I have a style of my own because I couldn't follow a pattern to save my life - hahaha but! I would have to say that I am a traditional girl!

I am a round peg that cant find a hole to fit in. I like some aspects of each quilting style but i go my own way. For example i did the underground railroad pattern all in batiks. Loved the patterns not so much the tinny tiny prints. I love a challenge. I am always looking for ways to expand my knowledge of techniques. I will try anything once.

My quilting style is traditional scrappy quilts.  I particularly like the Log Cabin design.  Some of the modern variations on this design I have seen lately are tempting to explore outside the traditional realm.  Thanks for the chance to win.

I consider myself a traditional quilter.  I like the old blocks and hand quilting.  However, if something new catches my eye, I will do that.  My daughter bought me an even feed foot and a darning foot, and requested that when I make her quilt, I do it on my machine.  Currently, on my husband's request, I am designing a quilt based on an old radio program that I heard as a child, but he didn't hear until he was an adult.

I consider myself a traditional quilter.  II love all of the old blocks and I'm always willing to learn new tips & techniques.

I love traditional quilts,still love the pattern for them.

I started out as a traditional quilter, using traditional colors and floral designs. I never liked batiks. However, over time, I find that I prefer modern designs - more linear. I also now LOVE batiks and I've grown to love large scale designs. I have graduated to bright colors as opposed to pastels. I'm guessing that my aging has more to do with my evolving quilting preferences than anything else.  

I am a traditional quilter but love learning new techniques.  The members of the Allison's Wells Quilt Guild that i belong love sharing their knowledge and tips to make quilting a joy.  

I'm a "little bit of everything" quilter.  I love the challenge of precise piecing, but I also love the look of the modern "wonky" quilts.

I'm mostly a traditional quilter, but I like a lot of the contemporary patterns.  I do a lot of hand quilting, but am trying to machine quilt.  I like the designs used in machine quilting, besides, it takes less time to finish a quilt.

I like all quilting except hand quilting. The more color the better. Love working with Batiks and Bargello patterns.

I like designing art quilts--wall hangings.  I like crazy quilts, too.  Machine quilting is the only way for me to go--so much fabric, so little time.

i love trying different kinds of quilts but in smaller sizes so I can finish in relatively short time period.  extra long twin is the largest i've ever done.

Novice... I hand quilted one wall-hanging but have yet to try any machine quilting.  Need to find time in my schedule to take a class.  

typically I am a traditional quilter - so far my quilts have all been lovingly made for my 11 grandchildren.  I am anxious to make a memory bed sized quilt for my husband.

I'm a traditional quilter and my favourite technique is applique.  I also love to hand quilt.  In earlier years I resisted machine-quilting but have since changed my mind and do use it now.    

Traditional quilting is my favorite, although, I like to try them all except landscape quilting.  I never was a good artist.

As a relative newcomer to the craft (have only been quilting for about 7 years) I consider myself to still be evolving.  When a quilt or pattern catches my eye, I set out to learn how to make it.  If I had to put a name to my style, I'd call it "traditional with a modern twist".  I really appreciate all of the traditional block designs and fabrics, but I am also drawn to our more modern fabrics and will often try to incorporate them into a relatively traditional design.

I am more of a traditional quilter with an added  touch of modern applique

I enjoy piecing traditional blocks and making sampler quilts as well as one block quilts. I enjoy applique as well but feel I'm still a novice. I'm intrigued with modern quilts, quilts that use unusual elements, and crazy quilts, but I've not tried my hand at any of those.

I used to be a totally traditional hand quilter.  But due to arthritis in my hands, I am trying to learn to do machine quilting.  I need to spend more time experimenting, but I have fun making whole cloth quilts with a cute baby print on one side and minkee on the other side for gifts.  The stitching shows up really neatly on the minkee side--everyone has really liked them!

I love traditional quilting but am also trying new things and trying to expand my use of colors.  I usually stick to my favorite color of blues.

I dabble in a little of every kind of quilting, but really love traditional quilts.  I participate in every workshop at my quilt club just to see if some new technique or style will displace traditional quilting.

What is my quilting style? I think it depends on the project. For my daughter? Traditional patterns with untraditional fabrics. My son? Classic all the way. For me? Whatever looks fun and interesting.

I think that I would be considered both a traditional and a modern quilter. I love the traditional blocks made with the bright colors.

I love all types of quilts but for now I am a traditionalist as these tend to be easier for beginners like me.

I guess I'm traditional, I make many baby quilts using applique. I like patterns that are easy to put together. I also use a lot of soild colors. Too many different patterns together is too much for me.

My quilting style is contemporary/fusion - sometimes all contemporary, but often traditional patterns done in contemporary fabrics.

I love traditional patterns but as a newer quilter I'm up to try any technique or style.  After all variety is the spice of life.

I sew mostly traditional quilts but am always willing to try new techniques.

My style of quilting has changed.  15 years ago I did nothing but traditional quilting.  Eight years ago we moved.  Our home did not lend itself to quilts of that kind.  The home we bought found me changing my whole decorating style.  I needed a quilt to hang an a huge wall.  I found a contemporary pattern I loved and it was a new technique.  It ended up being my favorite quilt I have ever made.  It also caused me to try lots of new techniques. Now I quilt whatever I want and try lots of new things.  The only quilting I don't do now is traditional.

I like a combination of traditional and modern.  I have changed my taste in fabric early on when I first saw batik's.  I love mixing them with other fabric's in all of my quilting.  I started very traditional when I first began quilting but quickly wanted to add some modern elements to my quilts.

I do a bit both. I do traditional quilts to learn the basics and anything new. I like trying everything at least once. I also do contemporary modern quilts through magazines and my own designs from time to time. Sometimes I try to update an old pattern but I am never sure if it has been done before or not by others.

Style?  What's that?  I make anything that strikes my fancy!  My favorite quilt shop owner says to me awhile back, " That looks kind of traditional for you." Ha, I thought, you don't see everything I buy or make.  I use her shop for batiks and more modern prints but I also enjoy historic, i.e. civil war prints and traditional patterns.  I enjoy paper piecing, applique', wool work, and piecing, easy to difficult. And you know what?  I like having one of each going so that anytime I can find something I'm in the mood to work on!

I have just started my first quilt so I cannot comment on all the questions but the traditional quilts definitely catch my eye. I also really like the 2 color quilts I have seen.

I think I'd consider my style eclectic. A combination of old and new,  mixing things up a bit and trying new techniques all the time.    

I prefer my own design for the quilt, even if I use traditional blocks within that quilt. I love mixed media, painting what I need to get the right subject (Head over Heels! shoe quilt) or color (Iris Garden quilt). I love doing my own FMQ

I generally have been seen as a traditional quilter, but feel that my style has changed over the years. Sometimes I combine wools and homespuns into my quilts, giving a primitive look. I also like to work with embellishments and am drawn to modern updates of classic patterns. I guess it depends on the mood that I am in, as to which style quilter I am.

traditional - I like best the ones like my granny made

I tend toward the traditional quilt patterns, but am always on the lookout for something that "calls" to me.  Making quilts, table runners, and other fabric items feeds my soul.  

I will try anything once.

I am willing to try most quilting styles, but I tend to gravitate to the simple traditional patterns since most are utilitarian quilts.

I am mostly traditional, but sometimes mix in some modern techniques. Sometimes I mix in my own things, such as hand quilting and tying on the same quilt.

I like the traditional patterns and fabric because that is where I started. I am excited to learn new ways also.I am a hand quilter also but learning to machine quilt on my sewing machine. Again, hand quilting is where I started. I find that it is my stress reliever.. I feel like I am still a beginner, but realize that I have been quilting a long time.. Quilting is my passion.. I like the history of quilting and love learning about the patterns and the history behind them...

I like to dabble in just about everything. That way I learn and experience more that is available to me.

Some days I am very traditional,  others very nontraditional.   Then sometimes I do traditional in a very nontraditional way.

I guess you would have to say that I am an eclectic Quilter. I love experimenting with different ways of Quilting,  learning as I go.

Traditional for the last 10 yrs, but I'm drawn to the strong graphic contrasts of the modern quilts! Will probably try one soon. For the actual quilting -- always by machine!!

My quilting style would be classed as: whatever I have on hand, whatever is needed by local charities, whatever is quick (at times) and whatever catches my eye.  At the moment, I'm designing an owl baby quilt.  I use up left over blocks at times and design around them.

I would have to classify myself as traditional with a twist.

I dabble in a little of everything though lean towards using contemporary fabrics (or contemporary that looks soft and vintage) in traditional pieced blocks.

I am always drawn to the more traditional quilts. I also love doing the fun quilts for children. I think I will always be more drawn to the traditional quilts.  They just appeal to  me more.

I'm a dabbler - I like to try a little of everything. Our quilt guild usually does one or two challenges each year. While I've been a member, we've done modern mystery quilts, progressive applique, and are on our second pizza box round robin project. I've tried small quilt kits, patterns from magazines, books, and am now working on one that came with a template. I just need more hours in my days to finish them!

I was a traditional quilter for many years because that is what everyone made, along with hand quilting.  Now I tried to do a little of everything and if it works out all the better.  Working more on machine quilting techniques because I like how it will give more life to the quilt.

I am traditional, however I love to embroider blocks and use them.  Recently learned paper piecing.  Will be attending the Valdez Quilt Festival in September and will work on 4 new quilts.  Very excited !!

I'm a traditional quilter, but love to use new, bright colors.  Looking forward to teaching my 4 young granddaughters to quilt!

I am a traditional quilter since I am not comfortable getting "out of my box".  I tend toward the darker fabric colors, so you will find that I love Civil War fabrics, Jo Morton, Thimbleberries, and Jinny Beyer.

I dabble in a little bit of everything.  I love the look of pieced Civil War quilts, primitive applique, sweet embroideries surrounded by bright colors, wonky blocks made with solids, etc.

I guess I am traditional like the older patterns but do like the bright fabric.

I love traditional patterns made with Moda and Windham fabrics.  I love sampler style quilts with pieced borders.  But sometimes I like simple block styles like turning twenty if I want to showcase a collection of spectacular prints.  I have a longarm and lately I just want a quilt top, any quilt top, to quilt with King Tut thread.

How do I determine the type of quilter I am?  This is a tuff one.  I love the art of quilting, from traditional patterns to pictoral art quilts.  If its made with cloth and thread, I like it and like to work with it.  For me, its the challenge of accomplishing something fabulous from bits and pieces.  The enjoyment of learning new techniques or rediscovering old ones are what intrigues me the most.  Like many others, I enjoy the hunt for that one fabric that jumps out at me and says, "buy me, I'm the one for "X" quilt".  I'm drawn more to the batiks and bright colors but also enjoy the look and textures of the traditional and period fabrics and patterns as well.  Overall, I like to think of my style as modern ecletic, variety is what draws me to quilting.

twisted evolver. new to quilting

My style depends on who I am making the quit for.  The best quilts are the ones I get emotional making, An applique quilt featuring my grand daughters dog who was sick and old, a quilt for my mother in law featuring her loves where she lived children birds and best of all the quilts I get to sew with my kids or grandchildren.  I love it when everyone takes part even if it is to point out things they like or don't like.  Mostly I am traditional I think

I like to make some traditional patterns only twisted with loud and bright colors.  I also like to experiment with art quilts.  It is great to have a design in your head and be able to create it.  When I have time to really design, I like paper piecing for the precise sewing.

My style varies depending on what the fabric says to me.  If the fabric screams traditional quilt at me, I may create something using flying geese or Dresden plates.  However, if the fabric is modern and funky I will look for a modern pattern to incorporate the fabric in.  If I have batiks that I can't wait to use, I will look for a quilt pattern that looks may have a "tropical" theme.  The one area of quilting I haven't tried but really want to is art quilting.  I love the idea of taking photographs and using snippets of fabric to re-create it in a quilt.

Sometimes I'm a traditional quilter with a touch of contemporary and somestimes modern with a bit of traditional.

Traditional with a twist! Love taking traditional patterns and making them my own with color choices and different settings.

STYLE?? We're supposed to have a style? Ack! I'm so busy trying to learn so many different things that I never gave a thought to a style! Hmmm...traditional?? Maybe. Artsy? Nah-probably not. Modern? Well, I'm not one for handwork so, it's possible. Contemporary? Of course! I can't let myself get old after all. Retro? I'm good with that. So, A style? As in one? Not gonna happen!

I like  paper Piecing, traditional, and some modern. I like to try new patterns and new quilting ideas. I have enrolled in an art quilting class. I like to be able to use my scraps. So Fon's and Porter"s Love of Quilting is my gavorite quilting magazine.

Mostly traditional but with a twist. I love the fabric collections and precuts and create from there using mostly traditional blocks but will throw in a twist to add interest.

I don't have a style I like to try different things whatever the mood happens to be.

I am an adventure type, I like to try something new and exciting.

I do what I like which can be a combination of everything but would say mostly traditional.

I am just learning to quilt, so I am not sure what my style will be.  I have been piecing for a while, but just got a free motion foot and am learning to use it.  I suppose I lean toward traditional quilts, but I have made some wild contemporary ones too.

I am a new quilter and so far I love everything I see and do.  My first quilt was a Bargello and the last one I did was an uncontrolled scrappy.  I loved doing both of them and the 9 patches I have done in between.  My style, eclectic, If I see it, can understand the instructions, then I do it.  The fabric selection and collection, (my stash is already huge) is addicting.

I'm a newby who loves the traditional but wants to try a hand at art quilts

I always thought of myself as a traditional quilter with a modern twist, who dabbles here and there in some of the other methods.  However, recently I was told I'm an artistic quilter who relies on the traditional.  lol.....who knows or really cares.....I'm just in it for the fun and joy it gives me to create and then share with my family members in the form of beloved gifts.

I am not really sure what type of quilter I am... I am new at quilting and am trying all kinds of quilts and LOVE it all :)

I am very much a traditional quilter. But I love the modern blends of colors.

I'm working my way from traditional to modern. I love sewing traditional patterns with a modern twist. I also am beginning to experiment with landscape quilts.

I am probably a traditional quilter mostly.  It seems that is the most commented on also.  I love new ideas, and love looking at the modern quilting.  Some people are so talented at that.

I am definitely a traditional quilter although I occasionally try designs out of my comfort zone.  Being a fairly new quilter, my style may change as I become more confident in my abilities.

I like traditional patterns using batik fabrics.

I love traditional scrappy with a main colorway of patriotic!  Is that a category :)  Good thing about quilters, we have a LARGE quilter "vocabulary" database.

I love traditional quilting and some applique.  I am passing my knowledge of quilting to my 10-yr old granddaughter and that is making quilting even more fun for me!

I am a beginner at quilting.  I have developed my own personal style as of yet.  I enjoy the challenge of developing  a pattern and putting it together as a puzzle.  It is a joy to see the completed quilt or project. I am still exploring all avenues of quilting.

I am more of a traditional quilter. I like some applique and I am getting ready to try my hand at paper piecing, but I am most comfortable with traditional quilting. I love the look of traditional quilting and if you add a little scrappy to it, the best designs come forth.

I like traditional quilting and applique.

I'm not a beginner quilter but, I am certainly not a "seasoned" one so, my quilting style is whatever strikes my fancy at the moment! :)  I just love to try something new  :)

I am kind of a scatter brain when it come to quilting or should a say a "kid in a candy store", I love it all and love the results when I try something new to me. I love trying to re-create the quilts that have been passed down from our family from the East coast that are well worn. Then I also love all of beautiful Japanese fabrics and the not to forget all the wonderful batiks!  I am looking for a pattern now to make a batik quilt for my bed next.

I guess you would call me an 'eclectic' quilter.  I love batiks in both traditional and contemporary quilt patterns.  I love both involved (Double Wedding Ring) and fast (Missouri Quilt Co/Quilt in a Day) type patterns for my quilts.  I also love to use Civil War type fabrics in my quilts so you tell me what type of quilter I am!  I'm confused!! :-)

Quilting style, you ask?  Oh my!!  I would have to say that I mix traditional and comtemporary, but no hand quilting for me.  I prefer to do machine quilting, and may add machine embroidery.  I do like some of the traditional patterns, but prefer the newer, revised patterns that incorporate the use of rotary cutting and other piecing short cuts.  Too much to do in life, and I do a lot of other forms of handwork.

I am traditional quilter, and I love the hand quilted part best. but I am doing more machine quilting to get more projects finished.

I am a slow but determined quilter.  I try to complete my started projects, but new ones just seem to appear!

I do a little of all kinds of quilting, it depends on the project. I find machine quilting is faster and I get the project done on time.

I like to play around with my fabrics.  Lots of chaos sometimes but lots of fun too.

When I piece, I do reproduction.  I like orderly designs.  But I also love applique and this I do in folkart designs-no order at all.

I am a traditional style.  I like a pattern that is quick and easy, and moves.  I throughly trying new and easy, traditional quilts like the Hello Garden, Flying Geese, Rail and Fence. Etc.

My favorite quilting style is EASY and FAST.  Most of my quilting is for various charities - so I appreciate patterns that still have beauty, but don't take a lot of time.

I'm definitely traditional with a whole lotta scrappy going on!  I have patience so the quilt can take a long time or it can take a day.  I'm happy with either.

I think my style is more modern.  I love the colored fabrics paired with white, so clean looking!  I love the freedom of art quilts, but I also appreciate the structure of traditional quilts.  I think the colors I use make a big difference between traditional and modern.

I am just an old fashioned quilter, not neccesarily a traditional quilter, but give me a scrap or up to a few yards and I let the fabric tell me how it wants  to be created, quilted and loved. I am as varied as

the patterns in the fabric, the pattern itself, and the mood of the day, sort of like the soup of the day. Hmm, great idea for a quilt to start, thanks QCA and friends.

I'm a more traditional kind of person, but like to make more modern patterns with batiks.

I am a machine quilter, my arthritis will not let me handquilt for very long, although i would love to learn how to do it with perfection some day. I try all kinds of patterns. I have been quilting for roughly 10 years now and i am an addict. I love quilting and the quilt community. I have tyed a few quilts that were to big to put under my machine. I will quilt till i die, i just love it.

I have just started quilting in the last year.  I am teaching myself to machine quilt through different videos and the Craftsy classes.   I have tried different patterns and have found that they are all fun to make.   If I cannot figure something out I start looking for training videos.

I consider myself a Traditional Quilter. I piece my blocks by machine, but all I have ever done is hand quilt.

Having said that, I am beginning to spread my wings. I am currently making a few small quilts using more funky fabric and non-Traditional designs. I will be trying my hand at machine quilting. These small projects will be my attempt to try some of the new quilt patterns, learn a new technique, and/or practice machine quilting.

I will be leaving the hand quilting for heirloom quilts only.

I love all things quilting!!! I love traditional to art quilting...I love to piece, to paper piece, to do  English Paper Piecing, to machine quilt, to hand quilt...I love to learn new techniques, everything I see I want to try...the options are endless!  What's not to love about quilting???

Not sure I have a style as of yet.... I have just started quilting... I have done what is called the crayon box but found i put my own spin on that one so i tried a apple core and put my own spin on that one too.. right know i am trying applique and I find i like that very much... I find i am enjoying just making the quilts using my creativity to come up with quilts

I have mostly done updated traditional quilts.  For instance, I am doing the Farmers Wife quilt blocks in bright batiks.  Recently I have seen some interesting modern quilt patterns that I would like to try.  I like new challenges so take as many classes as I can.  You never stop learning.  My quilting is more about the colors and the feeling of the quilt.  I try to choose colors that reflect a mood or personality of the intended recipient, not matter what style quilt it is.

I'm not sure that I have, or even want a "style".  The more I learn, the more things I want to try.  In reality  "I WANT TO DO IT ALL!!!" - (except maybe foundation paper piecing, just can't get my head around it, will keep trying though)

II usually like to try a little of everything.  The more I learn, the more things I want to do.

I love to work on anything and everything. Contemporary, traditional, modern, paper-pieced to bargello. If it strikes my fancy, I try it. If it looks hard, or different I try it.

I like quilts that require me to use a new technique.  anything from traditional piecing to paper piecing.  Right now I just discovered a stack of hexagons from my mother and am working on a quilt of valor experimenting with them.

I'm a "bite off more than I can chew" quilter.  I am drawn to intricate complex patterns.  It takes a long (and I do mean long) time to finish anything, but when I do I feel satisfied and fulfilled.

I'm a traditional quilter.  I have designed a couple quilts based on requests from my son, they really are his designs, that would be considered more modern/theme quilts.  I love the pieced traditional blocks, although I find myself machine appliqueing too.  When I first began quilting we appliquéd by hand, which I didn't like at all!  So I have evolved, I thought I would never appliqué.

I'm a traditional and contemporary quilter.  I enjoy learning new techniques and each new thing I learn is a  welcome challenge!

I am a traditional quilter, but love to use bright colors.  I grew up with ginghams and flour sack cottons, so the bright colors that are available now really catch my eye.  I still love traditional patchwork and hand quilting, however, and bring the new and old together.

I love simple quilts and modern quilting.  Love bright, modern prints. Love scrap quilts.  No appliqué!

I grew up watching my great grandmother, grandmothers, and mother quilt, I too an a traditional quilter. However, about three years ago, I joined a quilting group and have migrated into some art quilting. I really enjoy it all.

I'd say I am a traditional piecer, however as times are a changing, I am dabbling into appliqué and trying hard to do a bit of scrappier tops. I've recently made up my own pattern for a chair cover for Mother. Sew I guess I am in transition to more open mindedness. IS that a word?

My style is traditional- with a twist!

I am relatively new to quilting.  I have sewed for many, many years.  I have sampled so many different styles of quilting, but am drawn to paper piecing, because of its accuracy.  I find I love all parts of a quilt, from the designing on EQ6, the purchasing of the fabric, piecing the quilt and the final joy--quilting it on my Baby Lock Crown Jewel!  What a wonderful pastime quilting is!

I am a traditional quilter.  I love the 30's and 40's fabric.  I did get wild recently and designed a quilt using the Loralie print for Breast Cancer and that was a REAL job but the cause is part of my life.  As I get further into my love of quilting I will try a new things. my sister will make sure of that !

My quilting is as you said "dabble".  A little bit of everything.  My granddaughter just asked for a tree with lots of leaves, because she seen the one I made for my son.  So it was applique time again.  In the mean time I just finished a Bargello pattern quilt.  Love them all  

I suppose I prefer traditional quilts as I have a zillion stored patterns using these blocks.  Most recently though I have been quilting with batiks and love the lush effects of these fabrics in more modern designs.  

Aren't we all 'traditional' quilters in that we have taken the time to learn the skills needed for this age-old craft?

That said, I am an art quilter more then anything. I like creating my own designs and playing with them. 'Small, quick projects loaded with lots of color work best for me.  

I'm a bit of everything, but leaning toward modern.  I've gone from making lots o f traditional quilts to more modern the last several years.  I now love the geometric looks in my quilts.  Batiks are my passion, but I also love the new fabrics and colors out their in the cottons, as well as the larger scale prints I always stayed away from before.  I love machine applique mixed with piecing, too, and always have a foundation pieced project in the works as well.  The only thing I DON'T like is hand applique.  There's so much to do, learn and have fun with in the quilting world.....and sew little time!  

I like to combine all three styles together,I call them generational quilts and  to make the designs work  together keeps my mind challenged,

I'm an applique quilter  and everything is done by hand.Some have nice swing machine that does this but not me all by hand

I'm eclectic! I like traditional patterns, but I also like modern and funky designs. I love fabric and I like to use a mix of solids and prints so there is an emphasis on the focal fabric. At this point, I'm more linear, but am looking forward to becoming talented enough to do circles and appliques. I too do all my own simple quilting because I like the design and the fabric to speak for itself.  This too shall change!  I like to create my own patterns and I am lucky enough that I can recreate pretty much anything I see without a pattern.

My style is pretty traditional...but I like modern fabrics...batiks and overall textures...I like the quilting to show, so I usually leave alot of negative space to showcase the quilting...I also enjoy fast patterns that look complicated but have some trick that makes it simple...ie..strip piecing cut with templates!

I tend to lean more toward traditional block styles while using more contemporary fabrics. I love it all tho!

My style? - I love quilting.  I love applique, paper piecing and "traditional" blocks.  I'm not to hip on some of those "modern" quilts.  I don't know - they're not me.  In general I just love to piece any kind.

I started out as a traditional pattern quilter using bright colors. Evolved into landscape quilts, dying some of my own fabrics. I have discovered paper piecing and am now hooked on Judy Neimeyer's patterns. I am so hooked I went to one of her retreats in Montana! I am not into the modern quilting movement.

I think we put ourselves in boxes by trying to be a type of 'quilter'.  We're artists, every one of us, and think if we label ourselves as one type, we're not exploring ALL the great pieces of true art we make.  You can make even the most traditional quilt a piece of art with the simple love we put into each step.

My style is any quilt that grabs my attention if I like it I want to try it.

Mainly traditional; machine piece and machine quilt. :)

Mainly Traditional, but love trying new techniques and love the new methods of cutting and piecing that allow for quicker turnaround.  Mostly though, anything that I see that "grabs" me, is what I do.  Hmmm, lots of tops...just need to get them quilted now.  I tend to stick to smaller projects too because they're easier to quilt on a regular sewing machine.  I need some tips on quilting huge pieces.  Can't afford to have someone longarm them for me.

Traditional, love 30s fabric and also civil war. Startintg to use the new ways of quilting to achive the older blocks to make them easier. I just plain love to quilt. Whish I was faster so I can do more quilts. I am so lucky to have a daughter that long arm quilts.

I love all the deep traditional colors but...I am enjoying all the young quilters with their modern quilts and bright colors!

I'm traditional but lately I've been doing some wonky quilts, one is going to be a baby quilt for my new grand nephew. :-)

I still learning, so I am not sure what I prefer yet, but I do know do know I am having a great time learning and trying new techniques.

I still learning, so I am not sure what I prefer yet, but I do know do know I am having a great time learning and trying new techniques.

I'm still a new quilter, but I'd have to say that I'm a stickler for accuracy.  I don't know if that's a style, but it's what I'm learning from my mentor.  I have a learning disability, but she is great about teaching me in a way I can understand and remember.  I pride myself on getting my corners to match up just right.  As for any other answer to that question, I'd have to say, time will tell what style I develop.  For now, I'm just enjoying learning and trying new skills.  

My style is any kind of applique - mostly Baltimore and nature.  Also I like doing landscapes of my own design with help from looking at photos or magazines.  I only hand applique - otherwise I feel like I'm "cheating".

My quilting style first came from a college community class that started me out on a 35year adventure going from very easy traditional quilting (Log cabin) to now being very versitle with what I do depending on what I am feeling inside of my heart. If it is made for an immigrant pregant poor mother, it is bright, cheerful and full of bounce.  For a foster child, it has good feelings with some fun for them & made so that they KNOW that someone cares about them.  For my family all I sew are things that they like, with mixed traditional, applique, machine fancy stitching, etc.  I TRY to keep in mind that all are made with love from down deep in my heart.  Yes, the cost counts, but can one really put a money amount on LOVE?  I don't think so!  Quilting by hand IS love flowing through my hands from my heart.

I try to do a little bit of everything. Paper piecing still has me baffeled but eventually I will figure it out. I love traditionaly quilts but then I also like making up my own patterns as I go. I like applique as well. I have made all of my children and grandchildren quilts, plus donated baby quilts to the local pregnancy center as well as veterans.  Each one requires a different type of quilt so I just go with whatever I'm feeling at the moment.
