To my mind, it is these wonderful quilt artists who will keep this craft alive and especially interest the younger generation in quilting. There is nothing wrong with tradition but it is so exciting to me that quilting can be an art form in it's own right. And pieces like this are worth every penny in the same way that an oil painting or a piece of sculpture by a fine artist is. :-D
Oh, I so agree with you! I appreciate traditional quuilts, but I myself prefer to make my own patterns from a drawing or use a pattern where the print of the fabric is the main focus. I just did some hand dyeing, so that will be another direction for me to follow too.
