Traditional or Modern?

The sun is out today and finally managed to take a few pictures of the completed flying geese quilt. Caution: Picture heavy post.







 I added a little piece of scrap to the binding to continue the overall theme. You can see the quilting up close in this picture. I was extra careful when quilting to ensure the fabric does not pucker and on final examination I can safely say not a single pucker.




This quilt has changed my perspective on  traditional vs modern quilts. When you look at the construction of this quilt all the elements are traditional. Homespun fabrics, flying geese blocks and stitch-in-the-ditch quilting. Yet the outcome is fresh and modern IMO. How would you categorize this quilt? Traditional or modern?

    Congats! Not puckers! Love it, it looks so snuggly. Now I'm going to sort through my plaids and homespuns.
