Modern Quilt Month: A Celebration of Color

It's Modern Quilt Month here at Quilt Inspiration! We'll be posting a new modern quilt each weekday... we hope you enjoy our photos! Today's feature quilt comes from the Celebration of Color exhibit at the 2022 International Quilt Festival.

Losing It by Randa Mulford (California)

In this intriguing original design, there is a progression of color and pattern from the upper left circle (which is a complete kaleidoscope on a lighter background) to the lower right, in which elements of the design are faded and/or missing. The background gradually darkens as the elements fade.

This colorful quilt has a poignant story. As Randa Mulford explains, Losing It started as a response to watching an elderly friend lose her memory and personality to dementia. Color and pattern gradually fade away, leaving only a suggestion of what had been before.
