My latest blog post for Craftsy has been published, and I’m rather pleased with the subject matter. It’s called 7 Tips for Getting Started with Modern Quilt Design and I really enjoyed writing it.
The back of Colorful Chevrons – I think it’s more modern than the front. Tutorial here.
Suffice it to say, I had fun gathering pictures and examples of modern quilting, and emailing their makers to obtain permission to share. It was really just a great excuse to get to know more amazing designers, and this is just the tip of the iceberg! I could have included dozens more if I had the time and space to write about them.
Another “modern” backing I designed. One day I’ll make something like this for the front!
So don’t be surprised if modern quilts are all I can think about for awhile. I have to make up for lost time!

I love it when the back of a quilt is as pretty as the front!
I love the quilting… the mix of little “bubbles” and “chevrons” and also the subtle colours… beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful article on the Craftsy blog, and great coordinating photos to back up what you are talking about.
What a great idea for an article! The quilts are beautiful! Love the quilting, too.
It is beautiful Christa, love the quilting! Congrats on getting it published-awesome!
Awesome!!!!!!! And great “Quilty” article!!!!!! Hugs……………
Thank you for sharing. It has sparked the idea, and I’ll be trying out new things!!
I am loving that second back with all the thread colors! Yes, I love modern also.
Love them! I’m quilting a modern quilt for a customer right now and can’t wait to see the back when I’m done!
