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.

Watch as design, color, the interplay of positive and negative space, and texture come together to create stunning effects.
