Red, white and modern! This improvisationally pieced quilt exemplifies the use of negative space. A swath of white forms a crisp contrast with the angular red blocks. Pip Porter says, "Who knew there were so many reds and whites in my stash?" Scroll down for a closeup of Pip's machine and hand quilting.

Red & White Study #1, made and quilted by Pip Porter @mizrini (Aberfoyle Park, South Australia, Australia)
A member of the Melbourne (Australia) Modern Quilt Guild, Pip Porter explains that this quilt was made for part of an intended series of red and white quilts, which happened to coincide with a guild Red and White challenge. It was machine pieced, improvisationally pieced, and machine quilted on a frame (longarm). Lots of little details invite a closer look, including the hand quilting shown below.
