[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I mean any quilt. They look old fashioned. I do not live in a country home in Kentucky that was built in 1842. I don't believe in "country chic".

A little off topic but you really should check out some quilting competitions.  Although they typically have a 'traditional' category.  There are some real artists in the quilting world.  They aren't making your granny's cabin quilt!  Some of these would be heirlooms that I'd absolutely get behind!

Those are beautiful and not my grandmother's quilt!  I do have one that was made as a wedding gift from some business colleagues (they commissioned one for my DH and I) that for years sat in archival tissue in a box from Parkway Cleaners.  I had no idea what to do with it and did not want it on any bed because it would get destroyed.  It is gorgeous so I eventually had it framed and it is now hanging in a huge double foyer as the artwork.  Our home is contemporary and I am surprised at how well it fits with the decor and the minimalism.  Grateful I kept it (and the memories) and finally found a place for it.  [/quote]
