I tend to do more modern quilting than any other style. (Looking at my album will tell you that!) If I do a traditional block I put a modern spin on it. Too much traditional just bores me stupid. I don't think 'modern' is copping out on anything. They rely more on creative design, which is harder to succeed at than making good Y seams and HSTs . Choice of fabric and placement will make or break a modern quilt. With traditional quilts you can grab any fabric, even make them scrappy which to me is a cop out on fabric artistry. There is a lot more artistry in modern quilting.
I think our personalities really come out in the kind of quilting we do.
