52 Modern Quilts from QuiltCon 2024

Taking a close-up look at all the quilts with Lilo and Jess.

There’s nothing better than going to a quilt show with friends and looking at all the quilts - except maybe for shopping at all the vendor stalls. :) I just got back from QuiltCon, the Modern Quilt Guild’s national quilt show in Raleigh, North Carolina. I had a great time connecting with old friends, meeting new people, shopping, and looking at quilts.

Here are 52 of my favorite quilts out of the hundreds at the show. There would be more photos, but my phone ran out of batteries and I had to stop taking pictures. Let me know which quilt is your favorite in the comments!

You can find pictures of the winning quilts in all of the categories here and the winners from past years here.
