4. Background colors usually white or shade of light grey
5. Assymetrical
6. Often straight piecing

This is just a stab at it. What do you know and please post pix that are an example. Thank you
I agree with all your observations. I also expect a modern quilt to have a lot of open background space, more than a traditional quilt.
