Welcome to Modern Quilt Month!

It's Modern Quilt Month here at Quilt Inspiration! Modern quilts often include the use of bold colors and prints, high contrast, improvisational piecing, minimalism, and/or expansive negative space. This month's selections range from easy, pieced quilts to more complex works of art! We'll be posting a new quilt each weekday... we hope you enjoy these photos.

p.s. Please see our E-Bay shop for great bargains on patterns and vintage collectibles. For continuous free quilt patterns and blog updates, please visit us on Twitter.

Radiant Rhapsody by Valerie Greenwell

This stunning original art quilt by Valerie Greenwell was first drawn full scale on paper, then traced to create a pattern.  The vibrant shapes in warm colors are balanced by tones and a three-piece neutral background.  A variety of different quilting designs were used, adding interest to this contemporary quilt.
