Several months ago quilters loving the modern quilting inspirations started a monthly bee. We meet at the
Attic Window starting at 10 a.m. and ends when the last quilter leaves at 4. We have shared our modern books and magazine patterns and of course the great quilts in varying degrees of completion. Our project where we each make a square from the Modern Monday collection needs more attention from me....urg, one more thing! If you're not familiar with the Modern Monday quilt check it out at
42 Quilts. This website has many wonderful projects. A couple years ago GRMQG member Caroll D did the quilt- along making a quilt for her grandson. Isn't wonderful that her grandson not only wanted a quilt but chose orange as the main color! Somewhere in my world of certainties, that often get challenged is that quilts are for women. I have learned from my son-in-law, painter, carpenter and friends that men love having their own quilts. Well, any way, we agreed at one of our first meetings that we would each make a block from MM, and when having enough make the quilt for a donation.
