PS, it suddenly occurred to me that the phrase 'modern quilt movement' perhaps referred to a specific, identifiable phenomenon that I wasn't aware of so I put the phrase into google - and this thread was the third result. :lol:
It might be a little too US specific.
I immediately took it to be related to this relatively newly organized "movement" in the US (and based my response on it):
http://themodernquiltguild.com/
These new guilds are being formed all over the country, just in the last year or two. While similar quilts are being made all over the world, I don't know if it's gelled into a movement elsewhere.
I hate the word movement but I don't know how else to describe it.
Thanks MTS - on the right hand side of that website page were links to Modern Quilt Guilds all around the world, including two in the UK - here's one

So not US specific at all. ;-) :-D
