i come back because of an appealing appearance of the blog and the quilts. and i like tutorials and giveaways. and linkpartys... i really like quilt blogs!
ReplyDeleteQuilts and projects with lots of color and great design.
ReplyDeleteI come back to blogs that have great quilts with lots of fun colors and unique designs.
ReplyDeleteIt's colour that draws me in especially certain themes like Navy/coral grey/red.. I'm just automatically drawn to them
ReplyDeleteI noticed that rainbow colours are a huge thing at the moment...oh and there's a new trend going on with succulents and cactus patterns, not just on fabric, but also in embroidery and paper-pieced patterns :)
ReplyDeleteOh and many thanks for your giveaway!
DeleteI love seeing new and differnt on blogs. I think being innovative and cutting edge is inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI like seeing new designs and good tutorials-something to get me inspired!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your giveaway. I am drawn to blogs with lots of pictures of the projects in progress.I love quilts with lots of color and pretty designs.Scrappy quilts are my favorite so I keep a close eye on blogs that feature these.
ReplyDeleteI come back for tutorials or ideals that are in the blogs.
ReplyDeleteI come back to see what others are sewing and for the tutorials....
ReplyDeleteI love blogs that aren't too wordy, but get right to the point with photos and info..like yours!
ReplyDeleteTrend - Making a traditional block gigantic. Visit site for QAL, tutorials, quilt shows. 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteTrend of bright and bold designs.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing tutorials and beautiful inspiration
ReplyDeleteTutorials keep me coming back to a blog.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing lots of the 1 hour baskets. I might have to jump on the wagon and make a few myself. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteTutorials & finished items keep me coming back. I love seeing other people's creativity at work! Thanks for the chance to win! mto2golsen (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteI follow with Feedly.
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to blogs for many different reasons. If the blogger is honest about their process, that keeps me more interested. I keep going back to blogs that have great inspiration or quilts that are different than my "normal" work; it is nice to see variety! I like tips and tutorials, too, but mostly I love to follow someone who I form connections with. If they take the time to write back (I can understand not writing back on giveaway posts!) and engage with me as a person, I'll be hooked.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing a trend of more solids and less prints. I also feel that a lot of modern quilting is headed toward "quilting quilts to death" using multiple quilting designs instead of just one overall. I love both trends and am often finding inspiration from IG and blogs like yours. I love bloggers that have their own sense of style and put out things they love. Keeps me coming back for more inspiration and awe.
ReplyDeleteI just love reading quilt blogs for imspiration
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that a modern trend is actually to incorporate vintage into a new quilt. I am loving all of these new quilts that use vintage bed sheets mixed with new styles. They turn out so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI like quilting blogs that offer tutorials, inspiration, and tips.
ReplyDeleteI have to like the blogger's writing style in order to keep coming back. Bad spelling, misuse of commas, and bad grammar will really keep me away from a blog.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing other people's finished work - I'll come back again and again for beautiful pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteI keep returning to Blogs for step by step tutorials on projects or items I've never attempted before. The Karma is felt and I'm inspired to truck on and try it again, each time improving from the last. A seam ripper really is a friend:)
ReplyDeleteBloggers are so willing to share, and they truly care about your successes. BTW Afton I absolutely love your quilt in April Rhodes "Wanderer" fabric collection and Maureen Cracknell's "Wild and Free".
bluestarof2(at)yahoo(dot)com
I like seeing what other people are making.
ReplyDeleteI am drawn to beautiful creations using colours and prints of fabrics that inspires me to want to make something similar!! You should see my Pinterest boards.
ReplyDeleteI like to see tutorials and photos
ReplyDeleteI tend to return to blogs that have tutorials either on specific projects or on general basics (binding, choosing cloth, etc.). Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI've only just started sewing again after a long hiatus. So at the moment quilting blogs are all about inspiration and getting the confidence to start my very first quilt.
ReplyDeleteLots of bright colors and tutorials draw me to a blog!
ReplyDeleteI come back for great ideas, a peek into someone else's life, and tips for quilting which I very much need.
ReplyDeleteI'm bad at noticing trends... I'll stick with a blog if I like the style of projects the blogger works on. :)
ReplyDeleteI like seeing pictures of finishes and works in progress. I've unfollowed a few blogs lately because the only ever seem to show new fabric they've bought and never anything they make with it.
ReplyDeletejen dot barnard at btinternet dot com
I come back to inspiration from all the bloggers. I love it when there is a tutorial or quilt along. I love bom and love to watch when a video shows free motion quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love reading interesting posts and turtorials! I like the new trend of solids!
ReplyDeleteI come back to a blog for inspiring design, new (to me anyways) tips and tricks, and just to see what others are up to
ReplyDeleteIf I like the shapes of the quilts I will end up back on the page several times
ReplyDeleteI look for inspiring quilts, tutorials, and/or free patterns. And interesting writing!
ReplyDeleteI really like blogs and bloggers that are down to earth and throw a little of their self in there. I can google quilt tutorials all day, but I like to feel like I know that person and am interested in what's goin on with them.
ReplyDeleteI come back for the beautiful photos and helpful sewing/quilting tips.
ReplyDeleteI like blogs with unique and modern quilts. I also like hearing the stories behind quilts, their design and the quilters who make them.
ReplyDeleteA current trend I've noticed is Succulents! Love that line and love the plants.
ReplyDeleteI come back because I love looking at photos.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that sew many quilts have white fabric in them. I try to shy away from white because I am scared that it won't stay white after lots of washing. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteNumber of post! I prefer to follow blogs that post regularly.
ReplyDeletewhat keeps me coming back is modern twists to traditional quilts and photos
ReplyDeletesushikrazy@hotmail.com
I love to see what others have made but I always look for tutorials since I am new to quilting
ReplyDeleteI've noticed a lean towards low volume recently.
ReplyDeleteI come back for friendliness and honesty.
ReplyDeleteI see lots of fabric with words and lots of very close quilting. I am in awe of the complex quilts being made by young quilters. I recently made the arrow flight quilt when you blogged on Fort Worth Fabrics. It was a nice size and challenged me to use stash that is sitting there. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm following through Bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteGreat designs keep me coming back.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that a lot of modern quilts have a solid colour background and only a small amount of pieced blocks.
ReplyDeletelin.web.28 at gmail dot com
I love tutorials and seeing different color combos and ideas. Giveaways and looks at new fabrics are fun too.
ReplyDeletedetermineddebby at gmail dot com
I like to see lots of photos of projects and a variety of projects apart from quilts, such as bags. Thanks for a great giveaway. x
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back for the tutorials and the fresh looks.
ReplyDeleteI come back for work processes, tutorials and just new quiltideas.
ReplyDeleteI like to read blogs, so I tend to come back to sites full of stories, especially if they are funny, too :)
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious but, a LOT of matchstick quilting
ReplyDeleteRainbow colours seem to be a big trend - which is fine by me becasue I love them! Also paper piecing seems to be getting much more popular. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway x
ReplyDeleteFun clear colors. Love the free feeling the quilts have. Very vibrant .
ReplyDeleteThanks for chance to win.
Come back because love your fabric combo, projects and tutorials.
ReplyDeleteI come back to blogs that give me inspiration whether it is an interesting quilt design or fun color choices for patterns. Love your blog by the way.
ReplyDeleteImprov seems to be the trend. Love your blog don't change a thing! Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI follow most blogs for quilt inspiration. I like to see what other people are creating to get idea for my own quilts. I tend to make my own patterns because I will get inspiration from several different blog creations.
ReplyDeleteI like blogs that are have relatively short posts (word wise). I love seeing all the wonderfully inspiring things that my fellow quilters make and lots of saturated color has been know to draw me back now and again. ;) Thanks for the chance to win! I like your star wall-hanging, it's very colorful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway! Lovely tools and beautiful fabric!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy visiting blogs that show a variety of unique projects and include tutorials. Thanks for the sweet giveaway :) cwayons(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI come back to blogs for inspiration, new ideas, projects, & tutorials. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteTrends in modern quilting: GREY. :) Also rainbow, and geometric shapes, and solids. sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteI come back to blogs when they offer tutorials or QAL. they are very fun! thanks for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteHeavily quilted quilts - using swirls and cross hatch and filled-in designs was the trend I noticed at QuiltCon.
ReplyDeleteTutorials keep me coming back
ReplyDeleteI like blogs that include the process not just the finished product--I like hearing about the creation of everyone's beautiful things, not just seeing what they've made.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed a lot of matchstick type of quilting.
ReplyDeleteWhat keeps me coming back to a blog are good TUTORIALS, demonstrations of techniques or projects and an occasional giveaway prize (that doesn't require jumping through hoops and disclosing all my friends and family contacts - 99% of whom have NO interest in quilting or fabrics!).
I love tutorials, many times they teach me new techiques. I also love seeing new quilts and reading how they came about.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Bloglovin.

ReplyDeleteI love tutorials and photos of projects.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed a ton of medallion quilts lately
ReplyDeleteThe trends I have been noticing are heavy quilting, improvisational piecing, hexagons, and lots of triangles. The blogs I enjoy the most talk about their process of designing and creating, develop original work, and make dynamic fabric choices. I also really like an occasional post that is a more word-y discussion type of topic (how to price a hand crafted item, what is involved in your creative process, finding inspiration, what are your pet peeves, etc.)
ReplyDeletecurrent trend I'm noticing and participating in is curved quilt piecing.
ReplyDeleteHi Afton! I see a lot of EPP and FPP around. What keeps me coming back to blogs is if I see things that is my style and what I am drawn to. Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love to look at all of the designs and colors on a quilt.
ReplyDeletestorybookfelts at gmail dot com
I see English Paper Piecing everywhere. I love blogs that feature their own quilts. I tend to avoid ones that are general sewing since I really don't have a desire to make clothes.
ReplyDeleteI like tutorials and lots of photos!
ReplyDeleteTutorials are always useful, particularly when they are technique tutorials rather than for some specific block/quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love following blogs for photos of quilts, whether in progress or finished. It is great when tips are posted, and give aways are always awesome, but I really just love getting new ideas and seeing what beautiful things others are creating.
ReplyDeleteI go back to blogs that keep me thinking, that share what was going on in the mind of the maker while creating the quilt or whatever, that are conversational, show good pictures (but not 27 views of the same quilt block). I'm not fond of most tutorials -- my abilities are beyond most of them. A'm also not fond of posts every single day, showing the 11th block of a 42 block quilt after having seen the first 10 in previous posts. I like to see the person behind the blog come through, to get to know the blogger as a friend.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteWow - amazing stuff that you do! Can't wait to take some serious time to peruse your blog - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what people can create with fabric - that keeps me coming back for more. It's fascinating to see someone's take on the fabric and how they use it.
ReplyDeleteFabric giveaways!

your quilts are gorgeous. hmmmm well the blogs that I continue to follow are bright and colorful, easy on the eyes, lots of tutorials on "how-to", simple blogs as far as navigation and of course tutorials
ReplyDeletequilting lady 2 at Comcast dot net
I love seeing great images of beautiful quilts, read tips and of course giveaways are always fun!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of negative space in Modern quilts. Which is awesome for us longarmers:)
ReplyDeleteI love being inspired.
ReplyDeleteI love tutorials, and lovely pictures of fabric and quilts. :)
ReplyDeleteAll the pretty pictures.
ReplyDeleteI follow blogs that are organized, have posts every few days, have new ideas, patterns, colors...
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that "quilts" don't look like quilts. THey look like modern art. To say its a "quilt" has gotten to seem to mean it is old and ratty and worn out. But these days, from what I see....its almost a shame to use them as they are so beautiful and decorative! Kind of a shame to hide it under the bedspread! And what brings me around is just blogging my own creations and then surfing blogs about others creations. I get ideas of what's out there but also tons of inspiration!

Tutorials and lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteI tend to keep coming back for designs that inspire me, non-traditional patterns (or unusual takes on traditional patterns), and any help with techniques (from beginner to advanced) since I'm still learning a lot of things!
ReplyDeleteI like blogs with good quilting content, pics, and explainations of technique or tutorials.
ReplyDeleteI like Blogs that are not too wordy and I like to view the photos of the beautiful quilts.

ReplyDeleteLow volume is huge. A few years ago I had never even heard that term.
ReplyDeleteI keep coming back to blogs that have fun projects...tutorials, pictures & making me feel like I just visited with a gooood friend.
ReplyDeleteI come back to blogs for a variety of reasons. Mostly to look and drool over quilts but also tutorials and process posts. I am especially intrigued by FMQ these days and reading about the process. The good, the bad and the ugly.
ReplyDeleteFinished items, tips, reviews of books/tools/patterns, how-tos, and more. I tend to get very bored when blogs show post after post of fabric photos without posting any actual content - no words, thoughts, not even WIPs - just fabric stash photos.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the things that people are doing is using old or traditional quilt blocks but in contemporary fabrics. Calling it modern or modern traditional. It is also fun to see all the different medallion quilts people are making now.
ReplyDeleteI think frequency of posts really helps keep readers coming back to blogs. If someone only posts every 6 months, I'm going to lose interest. Thanks for the chance to win! jgemeroy(at)gmail(dot)com

ReplyDeleteI think I come back when I find the colorway choices and overall quilt designs the blogger makes line up with what I like. I also enjoy other types of sewing so I certainly follow blogs for different reasons depending on the primary topic. I generally like lots of pictures, tutorials are great as well as tips and suggestions for everything from where to buy fabric and supplies to how best to use a particular accessory, like a ruler or interfacing, etc. coudre at dmdrafting dot com
