Do you have or belong to latest type quilt guilds converging internationally known as Modern Quilt Guilds?
These folks that start them or belong to them rebel against the traditional way of quilting but not leaving it entirely.
I'm in the process of starting one within a 100 mile radius of me. So far there is only one in Georgia which is near Atlanta.
Here is a link if you do not know what I'm talking about...
