Last week the Modern Quilt Guild Exhibition was on in America, it's called Quiltcon. I wasn't there but I made a quilt for the fabric challenge and it got accepted.

I loved the fabrics so I signed up to do the challenge. Unfortunately, I didn't get a prize but I saw the prize winners on Facebook and they were amazing. The winners were actually what I would call a Modern Quilt and mine was more of a contemporary quilt, so I was surprised when it was accepted.

I actually took some progress photos, it's good to see where I started and where it ended up.

I sometimes wonder how I manage to sew it all together! Here I am doing the quilting.

I have a lot of fabric left over, so I think I will make another smaller quilt for an Ozquilt Network exhibition that is coming up using the same theme. Time is the problem, I had better get sewing.
Bye for now,

I'm not sure that I know the difference between what would be classes as a 'modern' quilt as opposed to 'contemporary'. To me, they're one and the same. Either way, yours is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean, Magpie Mumblings but the winners were more like traditional pieced blocks with plain fabrics rather than improv style.
