in this swap i am definitely working on modern as opposed to art. there is no embellishment on modern quilts. most are rather stark. minimalist--just the minimum design. i have a son who is into the whole minimalist lifestyle, but when i offered to make him a minimalist modern quilt, he said no. he wants one with thousands of colors! lol! go figure!
oh and modern quilts can contain embellishments too. i am designing one now that will be ladies dressed up and i will embellish their dresses with both decorative stitches and beading/buttons.

alright, here goes the umpteenth time trying to post what I'm thinking of doing. lol, every time I start, one of the kiddos goes super-sonic.
I'm liking this pattern http://pinterest.com/pin/9148005463381213/
but when I saw that alot are making their own design, I started playing around with a 8 pointed star based on an octagon center...similar I guess to the center of a feathered star block, but no feathers...I'm not sure. I can see a few ideas in my head, but they are not translating well onto paper. we'll see what happens!
