Modern Monday #10: 11/12/12

Modern Monday posts detail happenings and trends in the modern quilt blog world. I will discuss general news, significant contests and their results, new quilt-a-longs, and post flickr inspiration boards. My hope is that everyone, both CJMQG members and modern quilters around the internet, will find some inspiration and get involved with the online world!

 

View all (628!) entries from the Fall 2012 Blogger's Quilt Festival here and see the winners here! You can spend hours looking at all the quilts - highly suggested if you have the time :) Thanks, Amy, for hosting such a great event for online quilting twice every year!

Flickr Favorites:

1. Anna Maria Horner Triangles Baby Quilt, 2. Modernista tablerunner from samkaydesigns, 3. Ornate Mini Quilt, 4. Zig Zag Baby Quilt, 5. PTS 9 front...finished!, 6. Kona Modern Quilts makes a great backing!



See you at our meeting tomorrow night!
