A Final look at QuiltCon Minimalism

For the last two days, we have been looking at some of my favorite Minimalist quilts from QuiltCon. Let’s finish it up today…..

I love taking photos of people taking photos….

….and this first quilt was perfect for that…..

“Virtuous Cycle: by Jo Wollschlaeger

It was definitely an EYE-CATCHING quilt!

This next quilt went the other way…..

“Upside Down” by Karen Duling

I love her description of the quilt….

“Fabric cut into strips. Strips sewn into fabric. Stripes cut into strips. Strips sewn into stripes. Angles cut into triangles. Triangles sew into angles. Lines sewn as stitches. Stitches sewn as lines. More is less. Less is more”

This next quilt contained some surprises…..

“Duality” by Debbie Jeske

When I first looked, I thought that all of the “star” designs in the yellow fabric were embroidered, but on closer examination, I could see that they were part of the fabric design.

She did an AMAZING job of keeping those lines parallel!!

The soft colors in the next quilt……

“Chromatic Whispers” by Carolina Oneto

…..are all grey fabrics…..over 20 different shades and tints.

I especially like the tranquility of the quilt.

This quilt is very abstract……

“Deconstructed Gramophone” by Marisa Wilhelmi

…but I find the colors and composition to be pleasing.

In this next quilt…..

“Centered & Grounded” by Julie Hackbarth

….I particularly like the use of the small strips along the outside of each circle…..

Finally, I LOVE the colors in this next quilt…..

“Laneways” by Tara Glastonbury

…and the balance of the design is wonderful!

It just makes me smile!!

Well, that finishes up “Minimalism”. Come back on Monday and we will start with MAXIMALISM Category whose motto is “MORE IS MORE”.
