    There are so many quilts I'd like to make but definitely favor some. Recently I've decided to make a rag quilt but a few years back they had no appeal at all for me. I love the beauty of applique and did a little machine applique and attempts at hand applique but would rather see the beautiful applique work others do than applique myself.

    Anything ultra scrappy. It's just not my thing.

    Art quilts. I have seen some I like, and most of them are made with lots of skill and fantasy, but I don't have any wish to try one. I'm a 'traditional quilt lover' .

    Rag quilts (I've done 4 wall hanging size and don't want to do any more), Sunbonnet Sue, bargello (well, maybe but not any time in the forseeable future), civil war, totally floral, ultra modern/artsy. What I DO want to do is a neutral log cabin, a cathedral window (hopefully with no repeated windows), Bali Wedding Star, an autumn leaf pattern, the 8 paper pieced flower patterns from Designer's Workshop I have already purchsed -- if I live long enough!!!

    I have no desire to make a OBW, Bargello, Drunkard Path or a whole PP quilt. I don't care for the retro fabrics (maybe that's why I'm not liking my new blocks to much). Hmmm...

    I have to agree whole heartedly. "Art" quilts are not my thing. I usually stick to traditional. I have done some applique landscapes. I like those just because I like applique.

    This thread is so interesting. I think I don't like a type of quilt and then I see one here that is wonderful. No rag quilt in my future. Also, I cannot see myself making a quilt with a gazillion pieces. I don't have the patience for that.

    Do not care for Cival War Prints. To dreary. I probably would never make a postage stamp quilt. I can not work with that tiny of pieces

    What an interesting thread! I have to say ,I am intrigued by some of the responses, especially OBW and Bargello.
    For me, I guess the answer would be I'd never want to make a quilt that I already made, lol. I am willing to try everything once, if I love it great, if not, I am sure I'll learn something from the experience, but either way, chances are very slim that I'd repeat it again, especially that my list of to-dos seems to be growing rapidly...
