Modern Element of Texture presented by Sarah Maseth

There are many things that could add texture to a quilt. The most common is the quilting itself as seen in this piece by http://www.terryaskeartquilts.com/

 

Other ways to add texture would be folding the fabric as seen in this image of a folded cathedral block by The Jaded Spade.

The fabric itself may add to the texture of a quilt like this piece by https://www.carsonconverse.com/

Transparency may also add a layer of texture to a quilt with it's illusion of being many layers

Adding texture, and possibly more interest to your quilts can be achieved in many different ways.

Each entrant told about their piece and it's inspiration. 

Our winner was Vicky Bidell with her minimal design. She won some lovely hand dyed fat quarters and the book Minimal Quitmaking by Gwen Marston.
