My quilt design is an exploration into transparency effects. The original New Star Rising quilt was featured at Quiltcon 2013, where it won an award, quite unexpectedly. That quilt was also purchased at the show, so I no longer have access to it. The version of the quilt which is featured in the book is the second incarnation of the design; I made this version to keep for myself, and I was thrilled when it was accepted into this book in place of the quilt which was at Quiltcon.
It is an honor to be among such great company within this book. I received my copy just the other day, and I am impressed with the quality of the book itself, along with the wonderful quilts on display.
The book was curated by Riane Manardi, Alissa Haight Carlton, and Heather Grant of the Modern Quilt Guild. In addition to so many beautifully inspiring quilts, the book also gives a brief history of the modern quilting movement. The quilts themselves are organized into categories which highlight various aspects of modern quilting.
In honor of the book release, my newly-released New Star Rising quilt pattern is available at a reduced price in my Craftsy shop, through the end of the blog tour.
