This is very interesting :-)
We have a wide range here. Where I live the quilt guild is VERY traditional, mainly much older women who seem to frown on any "cheats" or modern techniques. They do use rotary cutters, etc, but are against things like spray basting.
The one I am joining is a half an hour's drive from here, and it's a much better mix.
I like both types... I love the traditional patterns and colours, like pam. And I like the art quilts that show a "picture", like landscapes, or similar.
The only ones I don't like or understand are where there's one bit of fabric, and a few lines of quilting, and it's called an artwork. I just don't get it! :?
