One of the great things about going to Quilt Market is getting the first peek at the MQG showcase at the International Quilt Festival! We had a stellar show this year with lots of diverse modern quilts. The photos below give a nice overview on how the show looks and feels. Best of all, all of these quilts will make an appearance at QuiltCon in Pasadena!

Just to clarify, The Twisted Sisters Quilt was a Denver Metro Modern Quilt Guild entry. I participated in the design and construction along with 22 other (very) talented members of our Guild. I had the honor of entering the quilt, hence my name on the paperwork. The other piecers/quilters beside me are: Teresa Barbagallo, Wendy Bermingham, Amdrea Berryhill, Chelsea Camalick, Michelle Davis, Anne Deister, Charlayne Dunn, Heather Ferguson, Carla Keahey, Teri Ladtkow, Lauren Lang, Marsha Loewenbery, Dena Mehling, Sheri Nichols, Christine Perrigo, Katie Rapp, Wendy Roth, Judy Sanclaria, Susan Santistevan, Shelby Skumanich, and Amy Wade.

Check out photos of all the wonderful modern quilts at the International Quilt Festival.
Thank you so much for taking these pictures and for featuring the exhibit on your blog. It’s great for those of us who couldn’t make it!
Perhaps at Quilt Con you will be able to hang the black quilts on a what background. I almost missed one!

These are each mind blowing – amazing art, each one.
