Welcome to my Modern World!
I've spent a couple of years drawing quilting patterns to fit the mood of the new Modern Quilt Movement. This is my first set of Modern quilting patterns. The response has been so positive and I've enjoyed seeing the quilts finished with them. I've also had fun making quilts of my own and you'll see those throughout these gallery pages.
The link to the Store is at the bottom of the page.
Enjoy,
Anita

The next seven patterns are drawn to stitch across the quilt and back again. Size them for the width of the quilt, or use Fill Inside to crop off what you don't need. If your machine is not happy stitching Right to Left, there is a revised version that will stitch only Left to Right and then move to the Left to begin the next row. Please be sure you have checked Pause at Jump Stitch in your Controller Definitions so the machine will not drag a thread as it travels back to start again. The zip file includes both the continuous and the revised patterns.
Use your mouse to pull deeply nested rows together. Look carefully at the left edge to see that the end of one row and start of the next row are connected.

Modern Serpentine

Modern Grid, Weave, and Warp are sized for wall quilts of about 40". This is all one pattern and will need to be divided to fit the throat space of your machine. Use the single pattern in only one direction, or turn the quilt and repeat the pattern to create the grid effect, as shown.

both directions to quilt this modern, floral wall quilt. |
