I am a modern quilter and I am very selective about the fabrics I choose. I ofter use traditional quilt patterns with modern prints. I have HST's and Y seams and I want all the seams and points to match. Precise piecing is important to modern quilters too. The last quilt I made was a modern quilt by Tula Pink. The blocks are on point. You can't get more precise than that. There is not a lot of difference between modern quilters and traditional quilters. We all love to quilt, love fabric and love gifting things we have made. The main difference I see is the fabric choices we make and the quilting we do. I see the beauty in both modern and traditional. An Improve quilt I made was one of the hardest I ever made. I don't think I am a lazy quilter.
