I like quilts. I have seen some "modern" quilts that were graceful and imaginative, others that were clunky and, IMHO, ugly and / or boring. I dislike most of Kaffe's fabrics.(DH agrees with me on both points, conveniently). Many "ART" quilts leave me cold. Nonetheless, I think everyone should be accepted for their own quilting muse. I know I am opinionated and hard headed. I am well aware that my quilts have many things in common with those of my great grandmother, and things that are quite different, for example, jewel tone batiks. I will continue to do what pleases me. I hope others will find their own voices.
