Last night I finished up my way late mini quilt that would have been entered in the Modern Mini Challenge if I hadn't been so late. And you know what I realized, not only did I not make the deadline, it's not modern!
My plan was do make a lone star but add modern quilting. Somehow that became a lone star with very traditional quilting!
I still love it though! And what can I say, I love traditional quilts.
And it will be a good sample to promote my quilting. Most of the quilters around here fall into the art or traditional categories and a too modern look just won't attract their business. As it is I got a few comments about my daring fabric choices!
Not from the dog. She just wanted to know why I was outside and not following her around. Because according to her, that's the best thing going.

Chelsea, it's absolutely beautiful! You win. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I'm stunned by its awesomeness. You rule! And the bit about your dog made me laugh, too funny.
ReplyDeleteI wish we didn't have to think about other people's reactions to our quilts, or to label them as modern, traditional, or art quilts. I would label your quilt beautiful and the quilting is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh! I love this! SO beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, what a shame you missed the deadline. Did you use your long arm to quilt this?
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo beautiful and I absolutely love your quilting! :)
ReplyDeleteJust lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love your feathers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mini - such lovely quilting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful star, and quilting too. Love the chocolate in the pic as well. I have two chocolates, and a white and a yellow as well. :D
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, and the quilting is great! I like modern quilting because...I can do it!
ReplyDeleteAnd really, many of the modern minis weren't very modern...if at all :/ Frankly, I'm not sure mine really was either!
It's just beautiful! The white space is a perfect place to show off your mad quilting skillz.
ReplyDeletei wish i lived next door. i would make you quilt all of my quilts...
ReplyDeleteI love it very much, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh I think it's modern, in that you are brave enough to combine the best modern prints and use traditional quilting - traditionalist would baulk a combining the two - it's beautiful x
ReplyDeleteFab quilting...and I think it's modern too!
ReplyDeleteHuh, fancy ignoring the poor dog to churn that out... ;o) It looks fab though
ReplyDeletethe quilting is fabulous, I think the fabrics you chose create a lovely effect :)
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting....it's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just amazing - and that quilting is just stunning! Also, I think the fabrics definitely make it modern. Love those pezzy print tips!
ReplyDeleteI love it and the quilting. The dog picture is the best!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this, too. This is an awesome traditional pattern anyway. The quilting stopped me dead in my tracks. I would love to know if this was quilted on your long arm machine as well. Also, do you recall what that super cute fabric is that you used for the binding. It's awesome! Thanks for sharing. This is just too great!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely lovely. I'm always so impressed!
ReplyDeleteModern or not, I love it! Is there a tutorial for this star?
