City Quilts by Cherry House Quilts uses only solids when creating her quilts, no background colors. And if you use the print lines from Amy Butler or Kaffe Fasset for example, the look is comtemporary without the use of background colors.

Many modern quilt guild members post their work on flickr. Here's one group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/freshmodernquilts/

Only how do we get the cookies and Starbucks into the online meeting place. ;)
As a side note, I'd never get along with the 'quilt police'. I do this for fun and relaxation, not for someone to frown and grouse at my bad stitching.

I think its a great idea and love the quilts. Its just that the list of quilts I want to make and the time left on this earth don't match up. Not likely to make anything that doesn't look pre 1920s. And imagine, back in the 1970s, I was the baby of the quilt groups.

I am a member of a MQG, and the age range is enormous, every one is welcoming, and people there are willing to share all their tips and tricks. It is like spending a day on this board, but with sewing :)

So I went to the link. What a giggle. Haven't all of us looked at a floor and thought Wouldn't that be cool. While I have settled on traditional Civil War era, many of my quilts have been just as out there. Good for these folks, times and styles are always changing, cycling in and out of our cultural attention span. Quilting and the creative urge just go together.

I founded a Modern Quilt Guild in my town, Huntsville, AL. So far we have only a few members and they are not active by far. I am worried that the group is floundering and fail. It is my biggest fear but I am trudging forward and trying my best to make it work. We have been together for only few months but the lack of participation just makes me want to cry. I am hoping that it will change. I have put a lot of love in to the group. Every meeting I have done a demonstration of something I saw online... a shortcut or something I thought was really cool. My demos have been well received I think...
We have a wide range of ages - I am in my early 40's and we have a few ladies a bit older than myself... only a few younger quilters.
