A True Modern Quilt

I just finished my first ever really true modern quilt.  Complete with a white background and limited colour running through it.   Have you seen the pictures from QuiltCon?  They truly fascinate me.  
You can check a great video out here.

I will be honest, I don't really understand the 'modern quilt movement'.   I am trying to.   I figure if I use lots of white, a bit of colour and a good design, I may get close.  



Here is a close up of the quilt I just finished.   The great part is I wrote a tutorial up for it.  The bad part is I can't show it to you till March 18th.   

I think I can show you another little sneak peek or two...shhhh don't tell.



What do you think so far?  Does it look modern?

Ooh, I can't wait to see it! And seeing those quilts from QuiltCon, I am convinced I am not "modern" either.

I like the looks of this beauty! I can't wait to see the entire quilt. :)

I'm really not sure about "modern" quilts. I've been making quilts with white backgrounds for years. I think "modern" means not a traditional pattern. I want to see your new quilt...

It is so modern.... it's cylindrical! hehe.

Modern to me means they are too quickly pieced. While they are stunning, I make too many. That means I run out of money and places to put quilts!! I like traditional quilts, using modern techniques, fabrics, colours and a little something extra.

My dear, from what I see, you totally get modern. ;-)
