    Am I the first to comment? Oh my. I love traditional quilts. There are so many in my head that I want to make, but know I will never have enough time to make, that I can't even think about the more modern designs.

    I'd have to say I'm more traditional and love scrappy quilts - in fact was looking at one you did for AP&Q trying to see if I recognized some of the fabrics. I do however, like a bit of applique also. I'm looking forward to hearing your portion on Pat's show today, I listen to all of them.

    I love all things scrappy. Theses quilts are my favorite to look at and to make. I have been addicted to string quilts lately. Can't tell you how many I have made and still have not run out of "strings". I think they multiply at night. Thanks for the great giveaway.

    I tend to lean towards traditional quilts, but make them with more modern fabrics. I like the minimaist look of many modern styles, but my scrap happy brain wants lots of piecing. Great podcast!

    I like what I call "updated traditional quilts with modern leanings". That's a mouthful that may or may not mean something! I also like scrappy and try to add at least an element of scrappiness to most of my quilts.

    Sandy D.-Thanks for telling me I didn't sound nervous even though I was a bit nervous in the beginning but once I got started it was fine. I went back and listened to the interview again. I'm happy to say that I could listen without any pain. lol.

    Lisa Marie- Thanks. I've used the "Organized Chaos" concept for years. Infact, I could even lay claim to it since I've never heard anyone ever use that terminology before when it comes to quilting.

    I listened to the whole podcast. I appreciate your hints about paying attention to accurate and consistent cutting, piecing, and pressing. I prefer piecing on my Featherweight, so from now on, I won't switch machines "in mid-stream" while piecing a particular project. I am hoping that following your sage advice will enable me to enjoy the process and avoid wasting time ripping out stitches! Thank you.
