What is Modern?
An Introduction to Modern Quilting by VTMQG
In the past decade, modern quilting has grown from a small, online quilting
trend into a world-wide movement. These quilters have taken the traditional techniques of quilting and developed a new aesthetic. Hallmarks of the style include use of bold colors with striking graphic contrast, extensive use of negative space, use of solid fabrics, minimalist design, and improvisational piecing.
In this program by the Vermont Modern Quilt Guild, you'll learn more about the history of modern quilting, its philosophy, and design ideas that embody the aesthetic differences between modern and other forms of quilting.
