Modern Quilters are forging a new path with colors that dazzle and delight. Yes there are the Modern quilts in two-color solids that make minimalist statements, but the quilts that really grabbed our attention at QuiltCon were the ones that went all-out with experiments of COLOR.

It seems that the most daring explorations of chroma are found in the Group Quilt category, where a palette is set and individuals have their own private color excursions, then somehow all of these personal visions are joined together and bound into one bold statement.

Here are 2 examples, along with a couple photos I took in Nashville on a rainy night on the neon Honky Tonk street.

The top right corner is the Best of Show winning quilt, made by By Leanne Chahley of the Lethbridge MQG in Edmonton Canada. Also pieced by Stephanie Ruyle, Felicity Ronaghan, Kari Vojtechovsky, Melissa Ritchie, Diane Stanley, Marci Debetaz, Debbie Jeske, Karen Foster, Hillary Goodwin

The bottom left quilt was the 2nd place winner in the Group Quilts category. Pieced and quilted by Tanya Munro, Yulia Reshetnikova, Marina Lukovneva, Maria Ismangalieva, Elvira Pustovalova, Olga Repina, Olga Stang, Marina Sokhonchuk, Maria Dzreeva, Evgeniya Milyaeva, Clara Stoikow, Olga Vovchenko, Anna Zhuravleva, Valeria Mezhibovskaya, Marina Surmillo, Elena Smolkina…from Dubna, in the Moscow region of Russia.

When we look at these quilts, we don’t think about Solids. We think about the glorious interplay of hues. However these colors were very carefully chosen from a larger Color Palette<\/a> of Solids.

Start your own Color Adventure with our huge selection of Solid Colors – over 400 colors in stock now – plus color charts<\/a> and a wide selection of Pre-Cuts<\/a>. Our eQuilter Color Palette<\/a> has a carefully curated selection of contemporary blenders for the creative quilter.

You can see photos from QuiltCon, and other recent quilt festivals, on my photo page<\/a>. Enjoy!
