However, when it pertains to quilting, I feel that "modern" is the opposite of traditional, done without concern for convention and trying to do something new. "Contemporary," however, is up-to-date, trendy with colors and shapes, etc.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190949964097703468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237207686517483510.post-64019955593968190022010-06-22T18:11:51.060-05:002010-06-22T18:11:51.060-05:00As it pertains to quilting...

Thi...To me, modern is something new and different. This might be some sort of new and different way to use colors together or new and unique designs. I find modern fabrics to be more bright and bold than traditional fabrics, which tend to be more muted and subtle. BUT, modern could also mean using a traditional looking color scheme with a unique pattern or a traditional style pattern with some sort of bright or bold color. In the end, modern is really in the eye of the individual. Modern to one person may not be modern to another. I think we could all agree that the 30s repro prints are not modern, BUT they could be used in a modern pattern to completely change the game.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078819135489710059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237207686517483510.post-37531609269093500512010-06-21T02:16:37.965-05:002010-06-21T02:16:37.965-05:00Just found you blog and WOW this is right up my st...Just found you blog and WOW this is right up my street <br />Your challenge:-<br />Modern - anything that stretches or warps the traditional formats - or as I would say 'thinking outside the box'<br />Contemporary - freedom, flowing, colour, patterns, combinations, basically utilizing all that is available to you and exploring and expanding the boundariesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386852386404591819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237207686517483510.post-30141612481632342022010-06-18T23:23:18.520-05:002010-06-18T23:23:18.520-05:00Modern and contemporary... When I think of those ...Modern and contemporary... When I think of those two words, I think of effective use of color.<br /><br />Color defines us, our emotions, directs our judgement, and is not nearly as subjective as anyone thinks. Blue, almost universally, denotes sadness. Red, anger. Yellow, happiness. White, innocence and purity.<br /><br />Effective use of color means realizing the power of color, and turning it to our advantage. The Amish are masters of solid color in quilts, and have achieved a timeless modernity to their quilt designs because of this. <br /><br />Effective use of color means breaking out of our creativity ruts and experimenting with those colors that "just aren't us". If you think of purple, and say, "I'm just not a purple person", you need to work with it and learn its possibilities.Grey Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000609665113112519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237207686517483510.post-77546511092747996482010-06-18T12:18:30.802-05:002010-06-18T12:18:30.802-05:00Modern: Anything I am working on I would consider...Modern: Anything I am working on I would consider modern.<br /><br />Contemporary: Anything that I am working on that I am using some sort of fresh/fun/batik fabrics.<br /><br />I am one modern and contemporary quilter.

Modern quilting keeps the quality, but moves past the rules and the patterns that have been the foundation for quilting for the last 30 years. (before that, quilting was more utilitarian than decorative, in my opinion)<br /><br />CONTEMPORARY quilting style (to me) is the transition between traditional quilting and modern quilting. It's the stage where quilters were trying out different things, different designs, variations on old patterns and many of them are quite popular today. Contemporary quilters may be more brave with their fabrics, but continue to quilt it into a Log Cabin or Ohio Star pattern.<br /><br />I definitely want to say, though that neither one is the "opposite" of traditional, just different.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791242249964743766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237207686517483510.post-91934695779579243782010-06-15T21:50:39.510-05:002010-06-15T21:50:39.510-05:00To me modern means related to what is new now, tod...To me modern means related to what is new now, today.

That way we can all see new and exciting projects. I just know for myself when I think of 30's prints, I don't think of them being contemporary. I love the big, bright prints with blocks of color and no little boxed in motifs.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231171665004633025noreply@blogger.com
