November Meeting - Part 2

We saw so many great-looking modern quilts with the entries in our chapter's challenge! (See previous blog post.) It's wonderful to see how many of our members are producing quilts with modern aesthetics. Our show and tell also saw quite a few modern quilts. Yay mod quilters!
