I'm new to quilting. My skills are . . . . as close to nothing as you can have and still have made a quilt, but I've been designing quilts in my head for years. I would call my style modern, but its based in modern quilts in the early 90s when modern meant reminiscent of modern art. The quilt I'm working on is a monochromatic fabric collage color blend so it doesn't fit in either category. How would you classify a bergalo quilt?

I have other ideas that are clearly in the modern category. When I can do asymmetric piecing and rectangles I have an idea for a black white and grey quilt inspired by birch trees (maybe with a pop of sky blue or leaf green). I'm not interested in tiling blocks or really specific patterns, but I do like quilts like rail fence where the blocks blend together and single block quilts. Im also really interested in pixel quilts. To me its all about the design of the quilt as a whole piece. I also love really only fashioned two color quilts, Hawaiian quilts where the quilting and intricate piecing design are the star, but that's way far off skill wise.

Soo I'm not sure where I am in the modern/traditional spectrum. Maybe I'm something else entirely.
