Such as taking an old quilt pattern & putting 'contemporary' fabrics with it. The idea is taking something old & changing it to make it seem more new. While contemporary is dealing with the fabric itself & how something looks. Such as the fabric with bright colors & crazy patterns that wouldn't have been found 5-10 years ago!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237207686517483510.post-16729906370594214832010-06-23T09:14:56.446-05:002010-06-23T09:14:56.446-05:00I also think of "modern" in terms of too...I also think of "modern" in terms of tools that are used in the quilting process---rotary cutter and ruler vs. templates and scissors, sewing on a machine rather than by hand---anything that makes the quilting process easier and more enjoyable.<br /><br />"Contemporary" brings to mind the fabics that are available---tone on tones, large scale floral or abstract prints, and colors that are seen in current clothing or decorating trends. Creating ones own nontraditional patterns or using certain commercially available patterns can lead towards a contemporary quilt. <br /><br />Taking a traditional pattern and using a nontraditional fabric will give it a new and modern look. As an example, Granny's apron made in a small floral calico vs. all the aprons we see made in large scale contemporary fabrics.<br /><br />JeanneJeanne Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333345325743557161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237207686517483510.post-53137978699172466012010-06-22T19:46:23.629-05:002010-06-22T19:46:23.629-05:00Hmm, I posted last week, but I don't see it th...Hmm, I posted last week, but I don't see it there, so I'll try again.<br />Modern: Not traditional, and self-consciously so. Tends towards clean lines rather than elaboration. Abstraction is one possibility that then develops.<br />Contemporary: Of the our moment now. "Modern" as the larger category and "contemporary as a subset of that."Penny Schine Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852332971735293361noreply@blogger.com
