Modern Solids

Modern quilting often starts with solid color fabrics! These clean, unfussy designs emphasize line and shape rather than texture.  Here's a fun quilt that echoes modern designs from the 1960s.

Psychedelic by Kate Henderson @katehendersonquilts (Bridgetown, Western Australia) 

Kate Henderson says, "I was originally going to make this quilt with just two colors.  I gradually added colors as I played arund with the design and ended up making it with 12 solid fabrics. It was straight line quilted on my domestic machine.  I love the way all the triangles come together to create a psychedelic effect."  It was foundation paper pieced and machine quilted without a frame.
