I just love how this discussion is going. It exemplifies what quilting is all about and why it is so appealing to many types of technique and fabric as well as personality (the anal--using 3/4" piecing to get miniatures-"who moi?" or the haphazard hey it's done and enjoy--"who moi, again?") and left or right brain gifted.
Admittedly I shied away from the modern quilt movement in the beginning, but as I have explored it more, I have come to understand it better and in the end began to understand myself as a quilter.
