From the Inside Flap

Like most modern quilters, I came to the craft by way of traditional quiltmaking. I loved--and still love--the time-tested patterns, elegant blocks, and rich history of quilting. I read every book I could find on the subject and experimented with multiple techniques. I was hooked, and covered each bed in my home with a traditional quilt. But eventually, I wanted more.

Luckily for me and for all of us who love modern design, the Modern Quilt Movement was born. Fresh fabrics, bold and graphic designs, and the fearless breaking of the rules (press those seams open!) of this movement breathed new life into quilting. And you're about to meet two designers who have not only embraced this aesthetic, but also influenced its widespread appeal with their innovative and award-winning quilts.

Daisy and Heather may work on different continents, but they share an instinctive understanding of the value of great design. Their work is unique, distinctive, and elegant. Both of them are masters of precision, creating quilts that pack a graphic punch as well as a sense of subtlety. And when it comes to creating curves and inserting stripes, they know when to piece, and when to step back and let the fabric do the design work for them.

It has been a privilege and an honor to work with these two creative quilters and follow the trajectory of their careers over the past five years. I can't wait to see where their talent takes them!

Best,
