Today, let’s look at some more of the “Modern Traditionalism” category from QuiltCon.
The simple four-patch block is transformed in this quilt…..
This quilt started as a plan to use magenta in a quilt…..
The piecing was based on a traditional chevron design.
This quilt uses the “Rocky Road to Kansas” block…..
I have never heard of this block but sure want to check it out now!!
I love the hand quilting that was added to emphasize the circular nature of the design….
This next quilt is based on the architectural highlights of the Colosseum in Rome….
I LOVE how a “Fish Eye” lens distorts the perspectives of a photo. This quilter used that same idea to create this wonderful quilt….
This next quilt (Square In A Square variation) contains ONLY FOUR fabrics……
The color variations are caused by the AMAZING hand quilting…..
It sure shows how important thread color is!!
Bullseyes and Ovals are pieced to create this quilt……
Finally for today, the classic Snowball block goes to the beach……
I can just feel the sun on my back, the sand in between my toes and the ocean waves!!
There are still 8 quilts to see in this category so come back Monday and we will finish it up.
This weekend, you can travel to London with me to visit the Tate Modern Gallery and wander around Parliament House!!
