QuiltCon Virtual Quilt Show: Bee Quilts

Welcome back to the QuiltCon Virtual Quilt show. There are still so many spectacular quilts I want to show you. Today we're taking a look at the collaborative Group or Bee Quilts that are a staple in the Modern Quilt world. And I suppose I should add a disclaimer, a couple quilts in this group feature a word that some might find offensive. If you're one of those people, don't scroll down.

  1. I'm finding it interesting how so many of what I would consider to be the 'big guns' haven't placed in anything - I see a number of of them in here, for example. Not that I'm suggesting that fame should win you prizes, but as some would be what I would consider to be the founding fathers, it's interesting to note that their aesthetic hasn't apparently passed the 'best of modern quilting' test, no matter how many books they may have!

    1. Many of the 'big guns' were on the Board of Quilt Con and not eligible to win. They were allowed to show their quilts but not win a prize. I LIKE it!

  4. I like the more eclectic look of many of these quilts, also some fresh, modern color palettes. I am particularly happy looking at Adrift, Bee Mod, Las Vegas Modern Quilt Guild 2011 Charity Quilt, Define Circle for Me, Confetti Amongst Friends, Kelsey's Crosses (the varying scales of a repeating pattern in a limited palette are so modern!), and Of the B.O.W. (has a vintage modern look that I really like). Thanks for sharing these Hollie!
