i think difference between modern and Amish is - Amish use traditional block patterns, traditional hand quilted patterns that compliment the blocks/or quilt,and modern is just pieces of a traditional block sewn most of the time in unconventional pattern, so to speak, ways or free form pieces, with lots of negative spaces and very tight machine quilting...at least most that I have seen..that's my personal definition, anyway.
