quilt club: modern quilting

This month's City Craft Quilt Club assignment was a bit daunting: create a modern quilt (or quilt block). It's the equivalent of saying create "modern cuisine." It can be taken a multitude of different ways. Modern quilts usually have solid, bold colors. But they might be neutrals. And they might have some patterned fabric. Or all patterned fabric. And have mostly straight lines. But maybe curved lines. Whatever.

Basically, don't make it look like an old lady made it in the mid-80's.

Here are all the different liberties that our quilt club members took with this challenge. Enjoy.

Michael blew us all away (again) with his 60's modern inspiration on the bottom.

Shannon's diamond quilt was a girl's best friend (see what I did there?)

And this quilt was a hoot (I can't stop myself...send help)

All the new Kona solids in one quilt. Swoon.

Kristi at Initial K Studio showed off some new lovelies currently available in her shop

This one is my favorite.

Or maybe this one.

My block was kind of an epic fail. But it was SO pretty in my head. Oh well. Live and learn.

I made up for it with this beauty. Tutorial coming next week!

Literally, I want everything Angela makes. Ev-uh-ry-thing.

My sister-in-law Meredith made her first quilt top. Holy moly!
My first quilt was not nearly this nice. I will never show you a picture of it ever. Probably.

Susan rocked this modern square quilt.

Oh my gosh. This is exquisite. All paper piecing. 22 (?) different fabrics. It makes my head hurt. So impressive.

Happy block!

This hand quilted fairy quilt by Callie is out of this world.

Modern quilted mobile by Elizabeth. Award for most creative.

Martha's block.

Nicole's block.

And Nicole's bag.

Momma City Craft's modern goodies.

Tres Modrian.

These Moda blocks from the Modern Quilt Kit are AMAZING!
It's part of a kit you can buy at City Craft here. 

More Moda. All of these go together to make one giant quilt. I think it's for a Paul Bunyan sized fella.

And more Moda.

Working with curves.

Next month we're working on strip quilts. You should totally strip with us.
