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 Curves 2
Approx 14" x 110" Modern Curves 2 is a larger, denser
version of Modern Curves, above. Place one pattern across the full width of the quilt, or run it top to bottom. 
A Bargello quilt, with Modern Curves running lengthwise. Quilted by Annette Blandin.
|
Annette added pearls to some of the curved lines, using the Apply technique.
|
Modern Serpentine
Modern Serpentine is very dense and must be deeply nested to achieve the dimensional quality seen here. To make adjustments in the density, enlarge the pattern and then use Fill to crop off what is not needed.
Modern Serpentine looks great across the quilt, or running top top bottom. |
|
Modern Serpentine 2
Modern Serpentine 2 is a more open version of Serpentine, above. Size the pattern to fit the full width of the quilt.

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.
|
Modern Weave was used in
both directions to quilt this modern, floral wall quilt. |

The remaining patterns can be st up E2E or in Repeat Patterns. Use as many repeats and rows as needed to fit your quilt.
Modern Basket Weave

Modern Basket Weave Curved

Use alternating rows to set up these basket weave patterns. You can use Trim, Fill, or Divide to remove extra lines from the sides of the quilt.

Modern Eccentric
Modern Eccentric is a dense and deeply nested pattern, with beautiful texture and movement. Great for bargello quilts!
At 17" High, the lines will be only 3/4" apart 
Quilt shown pieced and quilted by Kay Sheahan, Australia.
This pattern also looks great on a traditional log cabin, or a T shirt quilt, both of these quilted by Olga Schrichte.

Modern Eccentric added great
texture to this modern cat applique piece, made by Teresa Pusztai. Thanks for sharing, Teresa! 
|
Modern Eccentric 2
Here's a less dense version of
Modern Eccentric. At 16" H, lines will be 1 1/2" - 2" apart. |

Bonus Idea - Quilt the Quilt Twice!
Quilt constructed and quilted by Sue Vollbrecht. Sue used Modern Curves
one time over the whole quilt top, then shifted the pattern
and quilted the entire quilt again creating great texture.
