artsy or Modern?
1 Attachment(s)
I just made this for a swap, but now I am not sure about it...it is the Modern mini quilt swap...
I think this piece might be more artsy than Modern..what say you? [ATTACH=CONFIG]343836[/ATTACH] |
Jacquie: I think you are right

I'd say artsy. It reminds me of crazy quilts because of the pretty embroidery and the elegant colors. When I think "modern" I think of simpler designs with emphasis on abstract rather than pictorial. I love this, by the way - and who wouldn't!
Oh, Fransson! always has a variety of modern quilts that might suggest something: http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/directory.html Also, there is a modern quilt webring that I've stumbled on, but don't have a bookmark. |
thanks Holice,,back to the drawing board for me....in the morning..hehehe

I love "modern". It's a simple style that lets the fabulous fabrics do the talking. It never bores me, like other types do.
60's??? Sorry, not seeing it... |
If you don't like modern, I'm wondering why you entered a modern swap...
The creativity in modern is in fabric choice and usage. You can't just grab any mess out of the scrapbag. |
I call it beautiful
|
Jacquie, I think its beautiful and artistic. Modern if you consider the fact that it's not like a standard cut and piece pattern. But I feel its mosly of an artistic blend...Great job!

This site has excellent examples of modern quilts. (as it should! since it is the Modern Quilt Guild!) http://themodernquiltguild.com/
