Quilts that are primarily functional and inspired by modern design. These include, but are not limited to: the use of bold colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, expansive negative space, and alternate grid work. &#8220;Modern traditionalism&#8221; or the updating of classic quilt designs is also often seen in modern quilting.<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-2016\/modern-quilting-at-road-2016\/attachment\/download-5\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3418\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3418\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/download4.jpg\" alt=\"download\" width=\"318\" height=\"159\" \/><\/a>\nThe Modern Quilt Guild was developed out of the thriving online community of modern quilters and their desire to start meeting in person. The founding guild was formed in Los Angeles in October of 2009. Through blogs and the Internet, word spread quickly of the fun they were having and soon guilds started popping up everywhere. Today there are over 125 guilds around the world with members on six continents.\n[caption id=\"attachment_3419\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"352\"]<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-2016\/modern-quilting-at-road-2016\/attachment\/incline-by-natalia-bonner\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3419\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3419\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Incline-by-Natalia-Bonner.jpg\" alt=\"4020C - Incline Class with Natalia Bonner\" width=\"352\" height=\"352\" \/><\/a> 4020C &#8211; Incline Class with Natalia Bonner[\/caption]\nModern quilters that will be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.road2ca.com\/teachers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">teaching at Road 2016<\/a> include <a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/faculty\/road-2016-faculty-meet-modern-quilter-natalia-bonner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Natalia Bonner<\/a>, Sue Bouchard, Catherine Redford, and Weeks Ringle \u2013 just to name a few.\n[caption id=\"attachment_3417\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"324\"]<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-2016\/modern-quilting-at-road-2016\/attachment\/catherine-redford\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3417\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3417\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Catherine-Redford.jpg\" alt=\"4013C    Happy Scrappy Improv Quilts Class with Catherine Redford\" width=\"324\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a> 4013C Happy Scrappy Improv Quilts Class with Catherine Redford[\/caption]\nWhether you want to simply admire or you want to create your own modern quilts, there\u2019s lots to see and do with modern quilting at Road 2016.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[29],"tags":[227,771,772,777,808,1257,1376],"class_list":["post-3415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-road-2016","tag-catherine-redford","tag-modern-quilt-exhibit","tag-modern-quilt-guild","tag-modern-quilting","tag-natalia-bonner","tag-sue-bouchard","tag-weeks-ringle"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Incline-by-Natalia-Bonner.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3415\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
