Right now quilts are starting to evolve from a period of very elaborate "show" quilts, heavily quilted and encrusted with crystals, to more simple, bold, modern quilts that explore graphic design more than embellishment.

This quilt is fairly humble compared to most of the others in the exhibit, but it is great to know it has its own sense of rarity. It really does fit in with the group.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-23535220597790398682014-10-01T10:57:33.470-07:002014-10-01T10:57:33.470-07:00I think Sujata raises a good point: as a quilter, ...I think Sujata raises a good point: as a quilter, it can be so tempting (and overwhelming) to get caught up in all the color and texture that we sometimes forget how beautiful simplicity can be. This piece is lovely.

These full 6 blocks and 2 half 4-block partners were obviously made for rectangular beds. IMHO, they are more rare than the 4-block quilts whether they were square or made rectangular by adding different sized horizontal and vertical borders.Designing Duohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301379152020329936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-85419162306228898782014-10-01T07:51:49.025-07:002014-10-01T07:51:49.025-07:00love that first shot!

I often wonder as a quilter, if we have too much temptation of fabrics and colors these days, we often forget to enjoy the calm and serene that evolves from this kind of work.
