The ones I've seen for AQS Quilt Week that are in the Innovative Category (original design) do not include traditional blocks. Use of line, color & composition are considered when determining if it goes in that category & I wouldn't think that any combination of traditional blocks would likely result in being considered an Innovative Design... but I know there are people who have judged quilt shows here so hopefully you will hear from some of them.
Still, it sounds like you made really beautiful quilts & have a lot to be proud of!
