designs to love

I read somewhere this week about how many people think of quilts as something that belong in their grandmother's house. Personally, I love quilts. I think that quilting is a dying art (and ironically I am the only one of my sister's who has yet to take it up). Besides which, even a log cabin or patchwork quilt can be made to look modern with the right fabrics. Here are some quilts that nobody could associate with their grandmother.

From Martha:
"I'm going to make a denim quilt. I've been searching for inspiration on the internet, but I'm not finding anything that cool. Have you in your quests ever come across a good one?"

Here is the best of what I have found...

This drawing is almost a pattern. They didn't have a picture of the finished quilt but you get the idea.

I don't particularly like the trim or the back on this one but the denim part is interesting.

This one is my favorite. They used some khaki's and corduroy to accent the denim.

I love this quilt design I saw on Life Frosting. It is so simple but still so darling.
