Post Definitions - Modern Quilt? Traditional Quilt?

What is the definition of a "modern" quilt?

Or - for that matter -

What is the definition of a "tradtional" quilt?

And when does "modern" become "traditional"?

I sort of "get" sorting/defining quilts by the methods used in constructing them and/or quilting them.

I also - sort of "get" - how a pattern that I think is traditional - such as Churn Dash - can look very different if done in little pastel florals on a white background as compared to using cobalt blue and intense yellow on a black background.

Or is it one of those "I should be able to recognize it when I see it " sort of things?

But - one of the problems/issues/conditions I have is - both my Mom and my Grandma B were very individualistic in how they did things - so what they did as "practical" sort of looks "modern" now.
