Never heard of this term. Learn something new every day on here. I like the low volume quilts...a modern feel...and I happen to be in the planning stages for one right now and didn't know.

She defines it in the text ... just below the photo of the book ...
"... my low volume (a.k.a. "white") scraps."

Thanks for posting about this ... like the others, I'd never heard about this and I do like the look!
When you think of it, it's much the same as "shabby chique".

Thanks for asking the question and expanding my horizons. I had to peek at Red Pepper quilt because I wouldn't think of them as ever doing anything LOW volume. Have to say I think I like this and might try one of my own.

Fun! I just learned a new term. Low volume floral reminds me of the shabby chic look. The low volume "Eye Spy" of course has the look of pastels and would make a great baby quilt!

Thank you so much! Only 1 hour per 9" block for the quilting! It is waiting for binding, which I'll get finished this week! Then I'll post a picture in the photo section. It was so much fun to quilt! Definitely NOT a low-volume quilt!!!

Thanks for the picture - the color does punch up the quilt! Love the new modern quilts - so many opportunities for quilting!!!

Thank you for asking this question. I didn't know what a low volume quilt was before-great info.

it's true! ya learn something new everyday!!

Technically, yes, it would be considered low value. I believe the younger, modern-er (yes I just made that word up) set of quilters has come up with the term "low volume" to describe these quilts, and it seems to have stuck. Low volume because they're on the quieter side, I suppose.

Here's another one. I do like them quite a bit, they feel softer and more feminine to me. I just don't have enough of the right kinds of scraps to make one!

Well, you learn a new thing every day! Low Volume? Who'd have thought it! And aren't they stunning.
