Examples of some drawings for my lesson on Modern Quilts I am doing in January. Modern quilts have really brought in alot of younger quilters and have several definitions--improvisational; bold colors with lots of negative space and many times straight line quilting; solids with the new neutral gray. These are a few of the possibilities. Honestly, I still probably like the traditional quilts and probably samplers best. But it is interesting and has revitalized the quilting arena. The first example has strips of color (well it will have) placed randomly on a snow background and the other will be a gray background with bold colors as the circles. The circles aren't finished. I have to sew them on fusible interfacing and turn them yet. These are just paper copies except for the circles and they are small versions which I will probably keep as is. The Olsburg Quilt Guild is a small rural group that meets the first Monday of the month. We take turns giving a lesson on different techniques and usually make a quilt to raffle every year or two. The drawing for the raffle or chance
