I have been making the "Nine Patch Rearranged" for some time --- under the name of "Disappearing Nine Patch". I like to use it on baby or youth quilts -- using a child-oriented print for the non-cut block.

I have to confess that it seemed goofy to me to imply that what looks like simple contemporary quilts was something "new." But, as I look around the room at my local quilt guild meetings, the average member is in their late 40's to early 60's. It is not a "hip" crowd by any stretch of the imagination...

If calling the quilts "modern" and having a separate Guild system attracts young(er) stitchers to the fold, then bring it on! I want the art of quilting to continue to flourish long after I'm gone.

How refreshing! I am really enjoying the direction the magazine is now going. We, as quilters, always want to hear about new fabric processes. Thanks for keeping the crafty paper stuff in your other publications!

I've always been a BIG fan of Amish quilts and I feel like the Modern Quilting trend has taken this wonderful art form and expanded it to a new plane. I am also a fan of wonky piecing and so combine the two and I'm in love!
