Modern Elements: Alternate Grid Work 
presented by Nancy Goff and Diane Wilson

Traditional quilts are commonly laid out in columns and rows in a predictable brick structure. 

Modern quilts can still follow traditional grid structures, for example, using graphic color palettes or an unpredictable orientation of the blocks creating a modern esthetic while maintaining a traditional structure. 

Modern quilts often use alternative gridwork to incorporate other elements such as asymmetry, negative space and scale with a less predictable layout.
