in my mind traditional quilting means using the standard patterns to piece, and using fabrics that show off the different parts of the pattern by having a good amount of contrast. In what I consider "modern" the patterns often have large pieces to accomodate the larger, bolder florals, for example, and the pieces are often put together in such a way that it is sometimes difficult to discern the actual piecing. Colors/patterns are bolder and color combos are quite mixed. Some are very striking, but I have seen some in magazines that I have to wonder about...
