The Delaware Modern Quilt Guild

This quilt was created by guild member piecefullypam.

We’re a non-profit organization focused on Modern Quilting, and a member chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild. We perform at least one charity project each year.

We’re often asked, “What makes Modern Quilting ‘Modern’?” According to MQG, “Modern Quilts are primarily functional and inspired by modern design. Modern quilters work in different styles and define modern quilting in different ways, but several characteristics often appear which may help identify a modern quilt. These include, but are not limited to: the use of bold colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, expansive negative space, and alternate grid work. ‘Modern Traditionalism’ or the updating of classic quilt designs is also seen in modern quilting.”
