What is modern quilting?Modern quilts are primarily functional and inspired by modern design. Modern quilters work in different styles and define modern quilting in different ways, but several characteristics often appear which may help identify a modern quilt. These include, but are not limited to: the use of bold colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, expansive negative space, and alternate grid work. "Modern traditionalism" or the updating of classic quilt designs is also often seen in modern quilting.
Will I fit in?If you love to quilt and sew, love to meet new people and have a desire to learn more about the art of quilting, then you will fit in perfectly! You do not need a high level of skill to join our group - just a desire and love to quilt and sew! We have many opportunities to participate in quilt challenges, charity quilt projects, socials, leadership and more! We can't wait to meet you!
