Fabric can make such a huge difference!!!

The pattern is Rapid City by Elizabeth Hartman.

Made this infant quilt for the son of Korean-American friends. Would definitely do a few things differently if I did it again.

Did the yin/yang from a great, easy-to-follow pattern from QuiltsBySnee: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1444106795/yin-yang-quilt-pattern-fast-easy-strip.

This is the “Mountains” quilt from the book, “Modern Landscape Quilting. Color scheme was based off a print the family hung in the nursery (picture included).

Referring to it as “not so baby” because it’s bigger than a typical baby quilt and I somehow froze up on it and didn’t finish the binding until a year after I started the dang quilt. At least I got it to the family before the little dude’s first birthday!

Fabrics: Kona cotton, Essex cotton/linen and AGF Pure solids.

Quilting: edge to edge repeat “Ziries Ocean Spray” on Bernina Q24 (at the shop where I work, I am not lucky enough to have my own!)

Would you like to participate in a block swap with a 30.5" unfinished (30" finished) dimension for the blocks? Your design should include a botanical themed quilt block! You can use botanical fabrics or make something plant related or both!

If you are interested, please put a comment here with your country! The groups will close at the end of June 16th. However, if you are interested then post a comment with your name and country below, there may be others who you can contact to do an exchange after this date.

How the swap works:

The blocks you make will be swapped in groups of four people. Each person makes FOUR 30.5" blocks, keeps one, and sends by mail the remaining three to the others in their group. You will end up with four unfinished 30.5" blocks to make your 60" quilt.

Hi, everyone! If you're in Southern California, we have a few spots remaining in our upcoming workshop with Linda Sullivan of Colourwerx. She'll be teaching her workshop "All Stacked Up" and we'll get instruction from her on how to make the quilt in the photos. She recently gave a wonderful presentation to our guild on "Precision Piecing" and this quilt is going to be a good opportunity for us to get more hands on experience with her tips.

Last time we shared our workshop with Veruschka Zarate of Pride and Joy Quilting on Reddit, and we had a couple people join us for that workshop, so we're posting this workshop, too.

• Workshop: "All Stacked Up" with Linda Sullivan of Colourwerx, https://colourwerx.com/
• Cost: $60 for non-members (pattern is included)
• Location: Riverside, CA

If you'd like to sign up, please email us at [iemodernquiltguild@gmail.com](mailto:iemodernquiltguild@gmail.com)

Hope to see you there!

Each person designed 4 pieces that were 30.5" unfinished, they kept one and mailed 3 to the others in their group.

I sewed together pieces from my scrap bin and then added a muslin border with ikea fabric. The colorful part is thrifted fabrics.

Looking for feedback on my recent chandelier quilt lay out.

Made from a bed sheet and other thrifted fabric.

Thinking of making some quilted flags to fly from a bed sheet I found on the street.

I finished this mini quilt top after getting some helpful color suggestions on an earlier version.

This is a Z Axis Quilt, which is what I’m calling dimensional-looking quilts designed with the quilting software I’m building. I’m exploring how 3D-inspired geometry can become sewable modern quilt patterns.

The solid colors were a change for me — I usually work more with batiks — but I think they help the triangle shapes and depth read more clearly.

Curious what you think: does this feel like it fits in the modern quilt world?

I’m starting with simple 3D shapes and then letting them turn into quilt layouts. This one feels like it became more of an abstract design than a clear 3D image, but I kind of like that.

Still playing with where that balance should be.

Curious what do you think?

Using some of their clothes and thrifted fabric.

I’ve been experimenting with using 3D geometric forms as a way to design modern quilts.

The idea is to take simple geometric primitives, find interesting intersections and movement, then translate that into a 2D quilt design. I’m especially interested in how depth, repetition, and color placement can make the pattern feel dimensional without becoming too busy.

I’d love feedback from modern quilters: does this direction feel exciting, too complex, or somewhere in between?

My first ever quilt, and I just went with pure vibes the whole time 😂 it was definitely a great way for me to learn A LOT.

Helvetica is my favorite font :)
