I guess I love modern quilts and didn't know it. and now Ihave found out all of mine except one are modern. I don't think they are a cop out because I have had to line up points and do hard stuff on all of them. Because of this thread I did a google search of images and have a lot more ideas to go on and I'm all excited. If I'm allowed to say so nicely I don't think the quilt in the opening post is the best example of a modern quilt. If you do an on line search there are modern quilts that are very intricate to the point that I don't know how they are done just by looking at them. I think many of the older style very symmetrical blocks you can figure out how to copy just be looking at them and too many of them look like a star in some way. I'm also not a fan of the older style look of sashing and corner blocks maybe because it's be done to death. I think in no way is modern quilting a cop out.
