I finally finished processing the photos I took at QuiltCon last week in Austin. It was a wonderful (if short) road-trip with my friends
Sharon Dixon, Barb Knoblock, and
Betty Baker, who drove in from Houston. Only TWO people-pictures, I promise! The rest are quilts.

Here are some of the modern quilts that were on display ...alphabetically by title. I tried to include the quilter's names when possible, but didn't realize until too late how many were quilted by long-armers, and neglected to get all of the names.
If you have information on the names of the quilters (as opposed to the quilt top makers), I will be most happy to add them here.

What do YOU think, so far? I must admit that I wasn't in love with the Modern Quilt Movement when it first emerged a couple of years ago, but I was surprised and pleased at how many of them at the show that I did like. It's definitely a different take, although there still seems to be some confusion and disagreement over what constitutes a "Modern" quilt.
MORE pictures tomorrow ... please check back ... and please leave me a Comment on your opinion of the Modern Quilt Movement.
