NEW WORK:
流れ Nagare | Flow
I made this little quilt for the 2026 MQG Modern Mini Swap at QuiltCon. Now that the swap is complete, I thought I’d share more about this little quilt.
I made it for Kacie Grossman of the Hudson Valley MQG. We exchanged emails about our design preferences toward the end of last year. I enjoyed learning about Kacie and her former career as a dancer, so I tried to incorporate a dance-like flow to this little quilt.
I started with a little sketch, then planned it out on freezer paper. It’s a mix of planning, and improv. I used mostly contemporary quilting cotton fabrics, but also included some hand-dyed fabric, and even a bit of upholstery fabric for added texture.
It was fun to make, and fun to swap with Kacie! See my earlier post for a view of the little quilt she made for me, which is fantastic.
