How do you define a modern quilt? In researching this topic, it included such descriptions as minimalist, maximalist, bold, and nontraditional or having unusual colors, bright fabric, odd shapes, or high contrast. There is no defining it! But when the term “contemporary quilt” is used, every quilter knows what it is. You just know!

Many lines of fabrics have been developed to be used in contemporary quilts. They include bold and usually bright colors with many mixers in complementary colors. It’s very exciting to mix and match to pick the chosen fabrics for a quilt.
