I love modern quilts. The ones where there's a vastness of one color and in a corner is some blocks. I like that look. I like Elizabeth Hartman's style of quilts. She is so awesome!! That's the modern I love. I also love civil war, traditional, applique, paper pieced, English paper piecing, almost everything BUT I'm not crazy about quilts that people paint and glue things to. I'm not explaining myself well, but it's like they are painting on a canvas and calling it quilting. How can someone compete with a great painter who decides to paint on fabric and call it a quilt? I don't think it's quilting...it's painting. Call it what it is. IMHO!!!!!
