artsy or Modern?
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?

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 for this link...sadly it is just what I feared...the so called "modern" quilt movement is just a mimic of the late 60's and lacks creativity...sigh...

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