Northampton Modern Quilt Guild
Make it Modern
Our guild members made quilts that harken to the Sisters' Choice block. The term “modern traditionalism” generally refers to any quilt that has a traditional pattern, block, or design as its foundation, combined with one or more modern design elements. Modern traditional quilts often start with a traditional block or pattern, which is modified using modern design elements. These elements can include:
-
negative space,
-
asymmetry,
-
scale, and more.
When one or more of these modern elements meets a traditional pattern, the result is a modern traditional quilt.
After the Nov 30th deadline, you'll be able to vote for your favorite, and we'll find out whose is whose in our Dec 5th meeting.
