It's not that I don't like the quilts or the style, which I describe as
"Gee's Bend with more disposable income."
I think some newer quilters just got fed up with the quilt police, and/or didn't feel comfortable with the demographics of most quilts guilds, and wanted to form their own group to reflect that change.
Also, a whole new generation of younger fabric designers started designing for the larger manufacturers, and connected with an audience.
Not my taste personally, but so what?
