Featured Quilt - An Extra Strip of Fabric Creates a Striking New Design
Desert Spoon by Danielle Coronado was on display at QuiltCon Atlanta 2023 in the Modern Traditionalism category. We are fascinated by how she took a traditional block, the Delectable Mountain, and just by inserting a strip of fabric, took the design to a whole new level.

The Magnificent Banpo Bridge
Continuing with a selection of Modern Bridges to inspire your
quilting creativity, Captn' John has selected the magnificent Banpo Bridge in South Korea. The Banpo Bridge, also known as the Banpodaegyo Bridge, is a treasured landmark located in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea. Captn' John feels this bridge celebrates color and embellishment. It also seems to highlight the contrast between traditional and modern quilting in that it was inspired by the harmony between nature and urban life.

The Quilt Show Puzzle: Amongst The Leaves
|
 |
|
|
"Leaf Sampler" by Colleen Wise
Colleen's Leaf Sampler quilt
was created using a discharging technique, one that she learned and became fascinated with after taking a discharging class. Seeing it as an epiphany moment for her work, Colleen uses this technique in her quilts to put a back to a specific surface, which then acts as a shadow for the object and provides it the depth that it would not otherwise have on top of the quilt. The inspiration for this quilt, as you may have guessed from its title, was all the different leaves that Colleen picked up from every tree around her town.
See more of Colleen's quilts in Learn How to Shadow on Blocks, Discharge Leaves, and Marble Fabric with Colleen Wise.
