Tonight was the big reveal on our negative space challenge quilts.
One of the defining traits of The Modern Quilter is the use of negative space in a quilt. The Modern Quilter often uses large expanses of negative space, or space in a single color, around other pieced or appliqued areas. This negative space is often heavily quilted adding to the design of the quilt. Large segments of negative space can add weight and focus to the design area of the piece, drawing you in and allowing the positive space (the object in the quilt or design space) to be the focus. - The Quilt Show
Every member who finished their challenge quilt was entered in a drawing for a gift card to Halfmoon Handwerks in New Cumberland, PA. Congratulations to Chelsea and Karen D.
