There were over 300 beautiful quilts on display at QuiltCon 2015 in Austin, TX, sponsored by The Modern Quilt Guild. The wide variety was amazing, and the level of talent was inspiring! We couldn't possibly share every quilt with you ... but we would like to share some that spoke to us as we walked around the show.
Best in Show winner, Kathy York with her “i Quilt.”

One thing that we noticed in many of the show quilts - prints! The modern quilt movement looks like it is moving beyond only solid fabrics.
