Try checking your library for these two books. They have some great modern quilt patterns!
Cozy Modern Quilts http://www.amazon.com/Cozy-Modern-Qu...0731227&sr=8-1 City Quilts http://www.amazon.com/City-Quilts-Dr...0731296&sr=1-1 These should give you some ideas. |

For "modern" quilts for "young" people, geometric fabrics and quilt patterns work. Batiks are great. Applique, flowers, obvious quilt blocks are considered "traditional" and not "modern". Rectangles are a great contemporary choice for quilt patterns!

my daughter is 20, she has picked out the Batiks, purples and grays.....now I jut need to get started!

I love the idea your church has.My idea of an oldfashioned quilt might be the Dresden quilt pattern.I love the oldfashioned look and with pastel pinks and blues or teals could be just lovely...

My 12 year old quilts - We go every Month to a BOM. There are some really nice teenager colors out there. I do not know the names off hand, but look because at teh last meeting there was a shade of blue and other colors.

The 1st young lady likes Tealy Blue and Pink and likes more Modern than old fashion according to her Mom. the quilt will be twin size. I am looking for ideas for fabric and quilt patterns! Would batik be considered modern?
