Modern Quilts are inspired by mid 20th century modern art and architecture. Often made in bold, solid colors, they might have angular, open spaces, inspired by the Modern abstract, curved shapes in furniture and art of the time.
The Modern style in quilting might embrace Minimalism, with use of large pieces and overall simplicity of design.
While Repetition is one of the principles in Traditional quilting, Modern quilts are often designed with a balanced asymmetry and a focus on the interaction of quilt blocks in a non-traditional way.
A change in grid work (sashes) or lack of visible block structure are often a part of modern quilt compositions.
Are you working in a Modern style? I started exploring the Modern style about 10 years ago, both in piecing and quilting patterns and have enjoyed making the pieces shown here. Enjoy the show.
