Is My Quilt Modern?

You may be asking yourself:  “Is my quilt modern?”

The word “modern” means “of or relating to the present time;  characterized by or using the most up-to-date techniques, ideas or equipment”.

Let’s look at this quilt:

I made this quilt top this year so that must surely qualify as the present time, right?

I used all new fabric and pieced it with a machine, thereby making use of up-to-date equipment.

But I used a very traditional Ohio Star block as the center medallion – the Ohio Star block dates back to the early 1800’s – that’s not very modern, is it??

But wait, I improvised the setting and the border on my own.  I didn’t use a pattern, just kept adding sashing and borders until I liked the look of it:  using my noggin, that’s got to be an up-do-date idea, right?

So I vote “yes”  but you may have a different opinion:  here’s a poll – what do you vote?
