Modern Group Quilt Along
The Modern Group is hosting a Quilt Along on Zoom! Everyone is invited!
We will explore low volume quilts two ways! Quilters who love improv can complete their quilts in an
improvisational way learning to cut without rulers. Those of you who enjoy a more planned quilt will do
the same blocks with a little “safe” improv (including rulers). We will meet on Zoom the first Tuesday of
the month at 7:00 p.m. (the normal Modern Sit and Sew). Each month we will learn or review a
technique and during the month you will need to finish 2 – 3 blocks. We will have a suggested plan for
those who like structure, but everyone should have a unique quilt. The QAL will last 6 months. The size
of the finished quilt will be determined by how many blocks you make.
September will be learning about low volume fabrics. We will also use our “stash” to find our low
volume fabrics and our accent fabrics. (You may also purchase fabric.) Low volume quilts look great
with a variety of fabrics, so for those in the area, we will meet up at each in person chapter meeting for
a low volume fabric exchange. Details for the exchange will be announced at the first QAL meeting.
September: Choosing fabrics.
October: Nine patch stars
November: Flying Geese
December- Insets
January – Assembly, coping strips, and filling in with low volume fabrics.
February – Quilting Solutions
