Vintage Modern Monday

Indianapolis Modern Quilt Guild met on Saturday and we have some wonderful ideas coming up through out 2011.  The Indiana State Museum in hosting an exhibit to look at the history of Indiana quilts.  This sparked an idea…what if we did something Vintage Modern.  The word traditional is not really welcomed.

We are hoping to make some pieces inspired by the phrase Vintage Modern and showcase them during a First Friday later in the year.  Here is something that I found that may invoke some inspiration.

Reminds me of a skinny version of the dresden plate.

What is your favorite fabric?

I love how each quilt shop carries different amounts of fabrics.  The shop near me in Florida carried a wide variety of Batiks.  One of the shops near me in Indy carries an array of modern prints.  A shop we visited in Charleston has mostly civil war era fabrics. 

So readers, what is your favorite fabric?

  • Batiks
  • Modern
  • Floral
  • Reproductions
  • Novelty
  • Something else???

I’d love to know what you look for when you’re adding to your stash. 

Have a creative Thursday!!!
