I belong to a quilt guild called The Cambridge Modern Quilt Guild. Recently, they issued a challenge to the membership:
Quilts should represent what modern quilting means to each maker. Ideas of techniques that typically appear in modern quilts include:
- Negative Space
- Improvisational Piecing
- Minimalism
- Alternate Gridwork
- Modern Traditionalism (Updating a traditional quilt block or theme in a modern way)
Quilts must include a piece of Enchanted, the Kona Cotton 2020 Color of the Year.
We were each sent a small piece of "Enchanted."
I started sketching and came up with a design.
It actually came together quite quickly.
But then the quilting just made everything go sideways. Quite literally. Sigh.
I had originally planned on quilting the white area and leaving the "ribbons" un-quilted, but then I changed my mind. It might have been better the other way? I suppose I could make another version some day to test the theory, but for now I'm going to say, "Yay! It's done!"
I'm not sure it's "me," but it's done and so I'm on to the next project.
Thanks for stopping by!

It’s pretty cool so far, but honestly, I would add some quilting to the white areas. They just seem to large to leave alone like that. And yes, I do like the wonky quilting in the stripes. It would be too boring otherwise 🙂

I think it is interesting the way it turned out, but if you want to keep your piece squared, BASTE it in a grid. Use a walking foot for those straight lines. Modern quilts usually have a lot of quilting, so you might try adding some diagonals in the white – if you want to mess with it.

It really looks great. As a basketmaker, I’m always drawn to things that use the over, under pattern. I wondered what your thought process was when making this quilt. Was there a reason you didn’t follow the over under pattern? I noticed you went over two. I promise, I’m not being critical. Honest. I’m curious as to what took you to to the design you made . It’s funny, that the design looks great. As a basketmaker, it’s uncomfortable. I kept wanting to “fix” the pattern. Lol. I kept telling myself it’s, not a basket!
You did a great job.

Joanne – I didn’t want the weave to be regular because I thought it would be very boring. Luckily it’s not a basket, so it won’t fall apart! 🙂
