My friend Mary has the new book by Gwen Marston called Minimalist Quiltmaking. I saw the quilts and got all excited and had to try my hand at the concept. The designs of the quilts were very direct, unapologetic and strong. I loved them. Bold color and shape, with interesting straight line quilting made a big impact.
My version is 16.25" x 18.5" and is hand dyed cottons, machine pieced and machine quilted.
It is fabulous! You really took it and ran with it. Beautiful colors and quilting.

DeleteIsn't it an amazing book! I bought it a few months ago and my reaction was the same as yours.
ReplyDeleteI joined up with the Working in a Series 2015 to make a series of small pieces in this style.
I love what you have done here!
The quilting lines are great. I love the minimalist look.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm intrigued that these many lines, seemingly close spaced, could be called minimalist.
