Perhaps it's just your style of quilting. Maybe your friend didn't realize that you are trying to go beyond old fashioned quilting and make it more your own style.

i guess i really do not know what makes a person a traditional quilter or not...i design quilts...make lots of different styles types, sizes, shapes and use numerous techniques from paper piecing, applique, stained glass, template piecing...just everything...so...why is what i do considered ... traditional? maybe it's the fabric choice? i don't really use the modern, cottage floral fabrics, i guess i do use more traditional fabrics...but i like batiks and fairy frost's...so i just don't understand the distinction of traditional vs modern quilter??? ;)
