I have spoken before about my lovely Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild and how we are playing a big role in the Creative Stitches Show in Abbotsford in March. We are hosting a Modern Mini Challenge for the guild as part of the show as a way of demonstrating what modern quilting looks like. Guild members have been selecting modern quilting themes out of a basket and then getting busy. Since I am the guild challenge coordinator, I got busy fast so I could have a sample. I selected alternate grid work as a modern quilting theme but when I started working, I also had expansive negative space, use of solids, bright, colourful prints as well. I quilted it heavily with straight lines in an ivory Aurifil 40 wt and increased the length of the stitches a bit. The stitches pop on the linen. We decided to go a little bigger than a typical mini to showcase the modern quilting themes. So here it is. A modern mini. I called it
Are We There Yet? because I am really excited about the Creative Stitches show!
really lovely. The straight line quilting looks great.
