Maxing it out at QuiltCon

Yesterday we started looking at the new “Maximalism” Exhibit at QuiltCon.

Remember that the theme for these quilts is MORE IS MORE!!

While most of these quilts were full-on color, this one went the opposite direction…..

I really like the contrast!!

This one is interesting….

She calls this a “place where nothing is quite what it seems!!”

There is some great quilting in this one…..

I love the transparency in the center of this one…..

Is there a square there???

This quilt has a nice mix of color and black…..

He worked on it during small breaks in his workday. Note to self……..it can be done!!

Since many modern quilts use solid fabrics, I found the prints in this one to be refreshing…..

I looked up her website, and found that she made this “Maxie” quilt first in response to the exhibit. When finished, she felt that the patterned fabrics were so loud that you couldn’t actually see the design. So, she made a second one in a Minamalist version…..

Which do you like best??

The maker of this next quilt used selvedges that she has saved for over 10 years!! She says that she created a quilt using “fabric meta-data”…..

Yes, that is a LOT of data incorporated in those selvedges!!

This one is visually appealing…..

She said that she loves to strip piece AND she loves triangles. That shows in this quilt!!

And the final MAXIMALIST quilt for this year is…..

Come back tomorrow and we will have a look at some of the Youth quilts!!
