I think this is the main reason why we seem to have more art quilts in exhibitions than traditional quilts. Our German Patchwork Guild organizes a travelling exhibition here every third year and more than 75% of the entries are art quilts or of a modern or innovative style. The jury always tries to find a balance of both but it seems to be impossible! This fact brought me to enter a traditional wholecloth wall hanging there and I'm very curious if the jury will accept it.
