It seems no matter what the subject, there are those that feel an obligation to tell us what to think about it ... this may be the reason I dropped off most of those lists ... sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408822963659450038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-9323962829918014062014-12-25T03:32:38.019-05:002014-12-25T03:32:38.019-05:00I am most certainly no authority, and I really don...I am most certainly no authority, and I really don't ever try to make my creations fit into particular categories or definitions; but, it is my impression from observing and reading about so-called Modern Quilts, that while they often do have lots of negative space, the background doesn't have to be white, people use all kinds of solid colors. I've seen lots of grays, and also yellow, teal, lime green, etc.Charlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654576015036728600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-81047074276205660242014-12-24T07:35:36.027-05:002014-12-24T07:35:36.027-05:00I guess I will never be a true 'quilter', ...I guess I will never be a true 'quilter', since I don't like being restricted by someone else's ideas. Funny how some folk need boundaries, isn't it? Or maybe I'm just not disciplined enough to color inside the lines! At any rate, I like your improv pieces and your child-sized quilt is very cheerful and full of visual interest and not at all self-conscious... looks like you probably enjoyed making it, which is what it's all about, isn't it?

Soooo, in my definition, your quilts are most definitely M O D E R N and completely unique to you. What could be better than that?!?!? I look forward to more of you being you and creating beautiful, interesting, inspiring quilts.

Your quilts are not traditional patterns. I'm going to QuiltCon in February, where the highlight for me will be the Gee's Bend Quilters--apparently necessity plays a hand in creating modern as well! Thanks for the new word, megillah, it sounded familiar and I knew what it meant even before looking it up.
