There were an awful lot of beautiful quilts at the Cotton Patch show this past weekend, and I thought I’d share some of my favorites. Although the modern category at the show was small, there were quite a few modern quilts in other categories also.
I really liked the blocks in this quilt:
A-Maze Me by Sheila Shepherd
This quilt won second place in the modern category. It was cool to see traditional fabrics used in a modern way.
Amsterdaze by Terri Jarrett
Laurel made this one for a Modern Quilt Guild challenge. I think it’s the epitome of modern.
Cabin in the Clouds by Laurel Rudolph
I love the colors on this quilt by Deb Henderson.
Cheerio! by Deb Henderson
This all-silk quilt was improvisationally pieced. The silk made the colors so vibrant!
Color Magic by Gertrude Schilsky
This one also used a great deal of improvisational piecing. It won a ribbon in the art quilt category.
Walk This Way by Cleo Ward
This fabulous quilt is one of Nupur’s first! I love her colors.
Spice Box by Nupur Kittur
Look, Tula Pink! I really wanted to steal this quilt of Deb’s, since the Salt Water line is my favorite.
Tula’s Sea Debris by Deb Henderson
I thought this juxtaposition of black and white blocks with bright primary colors was amazing.
Stargazing by Julie Allen
This quilt by Fay Rawls was one of my favorites in the show. I love her use of value.
Out Of Darkness by Fay Rawls
I liked the use of colored bars in the frame of Hannah’s quilt.

And finally, a couple of small art quilts that I adored:
