Is Electric Quilt for the Modern Quilter

6/2/2018

In the Tech Know Quilter's Bargello class during May, we explored producing many different types of Bargello blocks and quilts. One quilt that was explored was a modern bargello.

Here was the block and quilt I presented to the group for inspiration.

Kari's Modern Bargello Block

I chose this design because the sections in this block would be super easy to strip piece. I am all about quilts that can be easily pieced.

I was super excited to see what the Tech Know Quilter members are doing with this particular concept. Some used my block and my quilt -- others branched out to do their own thing. Check out their Modern Bargello designs.

I think you will agree that EQ8 can definitely be used for modern quilt design.
