Many thanks to my photographer friend Rendy and her two little girls for the photograph above. We battled a windy day, having to pee and cold appendages to photograph this quilt. Shattered is my first recreation from the book.
The rest of the crappy photos are mine.
Shattered, I didn’t rename it.
Why?
A) It’s just a good name
B) The design remained the same to the block size, just the colors, fabrics, and placement/size of the inserts changed.
I certainly have many hours of design already booked in my head with the ‘slice and insert’ technique. I’m hoping the book creates that same infectious creative affliction in you.
My local long-arm friend, the lovely and talented Krista Withers quilted this version up for me. She glanced at how Angela Walter’s had designed the quilting for it in the book, thought it perfect and took her own path with the slices as guidance. She said it was pretty fun.
It’s amazing.
I purchased some Anna Maria Horner velveteen sight unseen from my friend Cathy for the backing. Krista said it was dreamy to quilt.
Jacquie and I were thinking it would be fun to create a space to share quilts and projects inspired by or designed from the book, so we’ve created a Quilting Modern Flickr group.
Please join up if you’d like to add. We’d L-O-V-E to see what you’re making!
P.S. Marianne at The Quilting Edge and Doodles and Designs are both doing a giveaway of the book, so hop over!
wowee wow wow… exquisite. the quilting is just perfect for it.
This quilt is really a favourite of mine and my mind is already racing for a way to make my own interpretation.
Beautiful! I can’t wait to see it in person ~ <3
Okay, THAT QUILT is GORGEOUS! AND that does it for me! I just ordered the book and hopefully will be adding my own picture soon! Hmmm, just hope I can make one…so modern…lol!
The quilt and the quilting are eye-catching. Wow!
It’s lovely! I got my book last week, and it is soooo great!! I can’t wait to try out some of the techniques.
The pattern is great, and the quilting is fab!

I’ve done a few quilts with little strips of fabric and really like how it looks. Think I’ll have to be making this one!
Oh, and I have the book, it’s really great and totally inspiring!
Great idea to use velvet on the back.
Wow, gorgeous! Amazing quilting, too. Love the book!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
That is an extremely bold quilt! Very striking.
Lovely, beautiful quilt–from the design and piecing to the actual quilting! I also love Rendy’s (and your!) photos. That’s a great view of the skyline (is that from Gas Works Park?).
Thanks Jenelle! Yes, that’s Gasworks.
I can’t wait to get my hands on your and Jacquie’s new book! Any day now….
Your quilt is both beautiful and intriguing – love that back, too. This is a quilt with an interesting texture, would love to get my hands on it ; )
I love a quilt that’s amazing from afar and close up too. This one is completely awesome, Katie. You deserve to be very proud.
Hi Katie, First of all congratulations on “the book”. It is something to be proud of. You and Jacquie have created a book that is top notch in every category (inspirational, high quality, approachable, translatable, thorough, fantastic quilting and photography),. I inadvertently purchased 2 on pre-order from Amazon and am giving one away on my blog: http://www.californiadoodlesanddesigns.blogspot.com (if any of your readers care to come over and enter the give away, that would be great). The giveaway if over Monday April 30 and I’ll send out the book on Tuesday to the lucky winner.
I look forward to starting a project from your book.
Love it!
