Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century
Modern Quilt Guild
2013
Modern & Design-ForwardPublished by the Modern Quilt Guild, this collection surveys quilts and makers who defined the movement's early years, organized around recurring design themes like negative space and improvisation. It functions more as a visual survey and reference than a project-by-project instruction manual. Best suited to quilters looking for design inspiration and movement context rather than step-by-step patterns.
