I'm pretty much of a traditionalist but sometimes make uncoventional quilts which I guess could be called modern. I admire some of the art quilts I've seen but have neither the imagination nor the talent to make one. As for the Gees Bend quilts, at the risk of offending some board members, I think they're the ugliest things I've ever seen. I realize the makers used what they had but to call these quilts masterpieces is an abomination.
