About the "Modern Quilts - A Twist on Tradition" Exhibit (Sponsored by Wonderfil Specialty Threads): "Modern quilts often take traditional blocks and reinterpret them through the use of solid-colored fabrics or give them a new twist by using negative space, minimal repeats, improvisational piecing, and gridding for quilting. A modern quilt can be pieced or appliquéd. This exhibit showcases amazing modern quilt from talented artists."
