Then to quilt the heck out of it. #paperpiecing #lemoynestar #quilting #paperpieced #modernquilt #moda A photo posted by Katie V. (@magnoliafly) on Jan 10, 2017 at 6:49pm PST Border progress today! I also successfully located the backing fabric after “losing” it. Where did I end up finding it? Behind the pile of text fabric in my fabric cabinet.

This episode is a special edition interview.  I was contacted by the owner of the Instagram account “Quilters Without Leaders” to speak on the topic of the MQG, the now-famous Derivative post and the current events of guilds voting to leave National Modern Quilt guild.  We mainly focus on the role national MQG has played since coming into power and what effect it’s having on the membership and other quilters interested in the modern quilt movement. The PDF of the MQG – Derivatives Blog Post and Comments Many current and past members have felt bullied by the MQG and are unable to speak out against them without being anonymous. It’s a shame that there isn’t a useful dialogue at times and that like many other guilds, National can be just as cliquish as anything else. I chose to facilitate this interview as I feel it is an important discussion to have regarding the future of “modern quilting” and how National is setting its sights on controlling what the modern quilt movement is and looks like.
