Modern quilting is gathering followers faster than a fire through a dry summer. This type of quilting is fun, colourful and very creative.

If you have never entered the National Juried Show (NJS) this is your chance to try!
Here is the Modern Quilt category description that will be in our Call For Entry form.
Modern Bed or Wall
Quilts depict modern design and demonstrate personal expression and originality
in the design, colour and/or techniques. Minimalism, asymmetry, expansive
negative space, and alternate grid work are often a part of modern quilt
compositions, as are improvisational piecing and solid fabrics.

Thanks for the links. All the visuals help me in understanding this category. Lots of neutrals: white, grey and some back. Those large blank areas allow for intricate quilting. However several entries have no neutrals at all.
ReplyDeleteThe originality aspect delights me.
