The Asheville Quilt Show isn’t juried, but it always has some outstanding quilts. Here are a few of my favorites this year. I was particularly struck by how many modern designs there were, even in the categories that weren’t designated “modern”.

Connie Brown, who is a beekeeper as well as an outstanding quilter, made this lovely miniature, “The Hexagon Life”

“Singing in the Rain”, by Elizabeth Allen, was one of many modern-style quilts entered in other categories. Love the rain-texture quilting!

“Sonoran Skies”, by Jolene Stratton, made striking use of some striped fabrics and effective use of quilting to reinforce the design

Phyllis Tarrant stated her “Geese in the Parking Lot” made use of principles taught by Joen Wolfrom. Wow!

Back in Time, by Linda Hallatt, isn’t modern but it is very striking and well done. I just had to take a picture for my husband!

Purple Haze, by Connie Brown,. She says she made it many years ago, but I think it looks contemporary.

Drunkard’s Path the Modern Way, by Linda Fiedler, was an exceptionally beautiful quilt in the modern category

Geez Louise, by Connie Brown, was a fun quilt in the Modern category. I wondered about the background fabrics with their mottled look.
There were many more wonderful quilts, but I limited myself to the modern ones and those I especially liked.
They are incredible.
Hi Wanda! Thanks for visiting! I’ve been traveling, so the Liebster post is next week 😊
What an incredible selection…….was going to name the ones I liked most but I lost track!
Hi Kathleen!
Thanks Mary for the kind words about my quilts! The background fabrics are Grunge by Moda.
Thanks for reading, and for letting me know the fabric–enquiring minds want to know 😊
