Description:

Artist Statement: "This quilt was a machine quilting challenge to incorporate pieces from antique LeMoyne Star blocks. I made a large LeMoyne Star, put it on point, and twisted the setting. The quilting combines feather sprays and modern linear quilting lines."

Techniques: Machine Pieced and Quilted; Original Digitized Quilting

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."
