Modern Quilts from the 2023 QuiltCon in Atlanta

A couple of weeks ago I went to QuiltCon in Atlanta, Georgia. QuiltCon is a large quilt show put on by the Modern Quilt Guild. In addition to vendors (love all the shops!) there were tons of amazing quilts and I wanted to share some of them with you.

The modern quilt show divided the quilts into categories: improvisation, minimalist, use of negative space, appliqué, modern traditionalism, handwork, and piecing. You can find pictures of the winning quits in each category here.

There were so many amazing quilts that I didn’t take pictures of! After looking at fa few rows of gorgeous quilts, I got overwhelmed and instead of taking pictures of absolutely everything, I just ended up taking just a few. I’m not sure which categories the following quilts were in, but here are some of my favorites.
