I agree with you about the Modern quilts, I find them boring. Very simplistic patterns, just not visually interesting to me at all. I think it's great that we all have our own opinions. My Mom always said that if everyone liked the same thing it would be a very boring world. I have also let my subscriptions to quilting magazines lapse except for 2 and I'm not sure if I will renew those when the time comes. So many of the same patterns over and over again, just in different colors. As far as fabric designs goes, everything old is new again.
