***Also: Bring your "most" Modern quilt for our  Bernina Sewing Studio display in Jan. - Feb. 23rd

Please make sure your quilt has a secure label and please make a hand written note simply stating your "modern" quilt elements. Include the quilter if other than yourself.

Here are some guidelines for the modern elements:

Modern quilts and quilters:

• Make primarily functional rather than decorative quilts
• Use asymmetry in quilt design
• Rely less on repetition and on the interaction of quilt block motifs
• Contain reinterpreted traditional blocks
• Embrace simplicity and minimalism
• Utilize alternative block structures or lack of visible block structure
• Incorporate increased use of negative space
• Are inspired by modern art and architecture
• Frequently use improvisational piecing
• Contain bold colors, on trend color combinations and graphic prints
• Often use gray and white as neutrals
• Reflect an increased use of solid fabrics
• Focus on finishing quilts on home sewing machines

Please do not be shy about bringing in a quilt or wall-hanging for the gallery show. We WANT something from everyone no matter what genre it is in.

 

We would love to have one quilt per member to start.  If you are not able to make it to the party you can still enter a quilt by contacting

us: info.lincolnmqg@gmail.com to arrange a drop off.

We would love to fill the gallery. 

Hope to see you there!!

Completed quilt top for our Outreach Community Project.  Thanks to all of you for the blocks you made to make this happen. 

Thanks for a great year!
