Traditional Quilts
Traditional quilts are adjudged according to the pleasing design, color and precise craftsmanship with a neatly finished presentation. However, when it comes to stitching these quilts they do not have matched corners or stitches per inch and are not meant to be pretty or flat or made according to the rules of quilting. Comparing non-traditional quilts to a standard that their creator is not aiming for is irrational. Dismissing them as "not quilts" is definitely unreasonable.
There is a theoretical and practical difference between the traditionalists and quilters who push their limits with their quilt art. Exploring a certain idea or concept is clearly a different way of working from a traditional approach towards the craft. The art of quilt making honors the creative efforts that are clear in the entire spectrum of quilt making.
