I'm a traditional quilter and will quilt that way however when I go to quilt shows I am marveled at the quilts as art. I know its good to get outside of the box to try new things but to appreciate any quilt whether traditional or art is greatly appreciated. I've had people tell me to enter mine and I don't feel so because there is much competition out there. But always remember "your quilt is what you make out of it and its yours".
