Jessica Skultety
Jessica gave an engaging lecture on what makes a quilt Modern. Of course quilting is quilting. Many of the Modern Quilts are distinguished by having no borders. The layout and design is usually asymmetrical. Jessica showed the group how she divides her work into 5 types.
Her first she calls Modern Traditional. Based on old simple enlarged patterns such as a giant log cabin placed in a corner or similarly a large maple leaf.
Minimalism is a simplistic use of two colors and simple patterns such as Greek Cross or Orange Peel. The quilt may use tints and shades of only one color.
Negative space emphasizes the area around the subject or object as the focus. The piecing is simplistic with complicated quilting.
Alternate grid space (changing grid) might be found in a round robin. This follows the rule of thirds. The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.[2] Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject.
Wonky Piecing is exactly as it sounds, parts are created using crooked or skewed lines in the creation of the blocks. Blocks are then placed together with negative space.
Improve is where you piece, cut, rearrange and continue to build. Emphasis may be on color, shape, line, or space.
