I have never heard that term before today and I have been around the quilting industry for over 25 years.

Never heard of them....but I'm intrigued.

From what I'm looking at I'm guessing it is lots of white, very tiny prints on white, not bright colors-pastels simple quilting.

Thanks ;-) I love the quilt you are working on in your blog.

yes, I'm not sure why the other phrase is used, but that's what they are.

Wow both those links really illustrate "low volume" - I don't think I have enough low volumn fabric to attempt one - I go for brighter colors, but I really like that I Spy quilt - so soft and restful.

Wouldn't that be low value? BTW, I love your shoes!

I agree about your shoes.. I have seen your posts before and meant to ask you where you got the pattern? Love, love, love them!!

Several years ago I found a book at JA called Floral Quilts from Grandma's Cupboard published by Leisure Arts by Michelle Blackhurst. It has the same pink lucious look of the web site mentioned above. I got crazy and made 5-6 of the quilts and they are so girly. They are not quilted but I have 6 grandaughters so I am sure they will get them someday.

Elizabeth Hartman has a Craftsy class with modern quilts. One of the projects is a low volume and this is the quilt I made for the class. So, most of the fabrics are low contrast but the shot of color livens things up.
