I’m fortunate to be at the annual meeting of the Modern Quilt Guild this weekend in Nashville.

QuiltCon is a four-day event with a juried quilt exhibit, vendors, classes, lectures and socials.
It feels like drinking
from a firehose.
So with that in mind, just a quickie post this morning with a few quilts I have admired from the Charity Quilt Challenge.
Modern quilt guilds and individual members were given a color palette and a theme (“tiny piecing”). They responded by making extraordinary quilts in significant numbers. I haven’t learned the exact number yet but I’m working on that.

The variety is stunning. These are a few of my favorites.

For the quilt below, let’s start with detail shots and move outward. I love the scrappy approach used by the Jacksonville Modern Quilt Guild in Florida.

Now I’m off to the show again because there is so much I have yet to see!
Love your description of QuiltCon (like a fire hose). So true. It was a wonderful time Looking forward to Austin!
Rain Rain go away, maybe next time I can get to Quilt con.
