Knitting had its moment (and it’s still going on), so perhaps it’s time to shine a spotlight on quilters. While the craft may evoke images of grannies in spectacles equipped with needles in a barn (sewing bee anyone?), there’s an alternative to patchwork classics. After posting a few modern quilters last year, we stumbled upon a decidedly hip Flickr group of crafters called The Modern Quilt Guild, and pulled out half a dozen favorites.
