I think some of the more modern quilts appeal because you can make a quilt for a gift within a week or so. Not everyone has time to make a traditonal master piece. One of the posts refered to utility quilts. My quilts are made to be used. Or atleast most of them. I am learning to make quick pattern quilts so I can make quilts for all those I want to give quilts too. Also some of those recipients might appreciate quilts with a more modern style.
I agree! I wanted to do a quilt for each of my daughters and I asked them to help pick out what they wanted. Each of them liked something very different. Youngest wanted a crazy quilt because she felt the traditional ones were "too Country". Eldest one picked a Folk Art design and middle a cat one.
