Thoroughly Modern Quilting
Quilting a modern quilt has puzzled many quilters. Balancing a minimalist design aesthetic while introducing the third dimension of texture is no small feat. Through a PowerPoint presentation and a trunk show of modern quilts, explore how quilting transforms a quilt top, adding depth and visual interest. Watch as design, color, the interplay of positive and negative space, and texture come together to create stunning effects.
