It's a little odd putting them in the art quilt section only because some 2 layer coverlets are very traditional. I guess there's so many variations and styles its hard to catergorise all styles, there will always be exceptions. Your post really has me thinking though. Thanks for all the information you included.

And I love your little apples. <br /><br />I'm not sure art quilts and traditional quilts should be judged together. Same with two-layer art pieces. Although summer quilts were traditionally made using two layers. The term "quilt" encompasses ALL quilted items, but I think it would be helpful to be more defining for a show. <br /><br />My first quilt was traditional, very simple, all by hand. My second quilt was a 6ft long painted art piece! It did have batting and was hand-quilted, but it was all done using acrylic paints on one big piece of sheeting. I never viewed it as the same thing as my first, traditional, quilt. It seemed to be an entirely different creation.<br /><br />I'm pretty simple in how I define quilts nowadays - it's either a bed quilt or a wall quilt, lol!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682097898709478975.post-48726030983505944142012-10-06T17:43:42.092+08:002012-10-06T17:43:42.092+08:00Call me old-fashioned, but to me a quilt is 3 laye...Call me old-fashioned, but to me a quilt is 3 layers, held together either by stitching or tying and they go on beds or chairs.<br /><br />Yes, I can admire some things about art quilts, but I really do not feel they can/should be judged against traditional quilts. I feel they are too different and maybe either should have separate shows or separate categories. And how on earth do you decide one type is better than the other for the best in show type of awards?<br /><br />OK, I'd better get down off my soap box now.QuiltSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121195815836334067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682097898709478975.post-15532537430045520192012-10-06T17:00:12.245+08:002012-10-06T17:00:12.245+08:00Can see where you get your Genes for Quilting Sha...Can see where you get your Genes for Quilting Shari..
