My children keep telling me I need to modernize my home. I am too behind the times. Of course I am old but maybe if I read this book I will be inspired. I love the placemats.
I have been quilting since 1984 and recently came back to it after four years. I am really being drawn to all the new modern looks and would love to make some modern decor for my home.
I would love this because I've been dying to start quilting. Her quilts are gorgeous and I'd love to give it a try :)
I'd love to make any of the quilts you've shown!!
Yes please! Count me in too!
My daughter and SIL are thinking of starting of family. The baby ensemble would be perfect to sew for them. Thanks for the giveaway.

I love the modern graphics in this book. The designs are very usable for my home. Thanks for the chance.
I'd love to make the pinky patch quilt from the book! I've been saving up various purple fabrics for something just like this.
I love the Horizon Line quilt and would love to make for my guest bedroom! Thanks for the chance to win!
I'm in process of redoing our living room and I'm sure I could find some great ideas in this book.
Quilt books inspire me and that Pinky Patch quilt would be a great one to use up some of my many scraps!
The modern projects in this book rock! I have a new grandbaby on the way and the nursery projects would provide projects for my new little one. Plus there are so many other modern projects to try. Thanks for the opportunity.
I am warming up to the modern quilt style and would love to try a few! pjrcontest@msn.com
I need some fresh ideas of how to make modern quilts by also using up scrapes.
I need this book because my house is in need of some sprucing up. Thanks
I would like this to work on projects for something other than bed quilts plus for gifts.
Lovely looking book full of inspiration :@
Hi Nedra!
We are in the planning/moving soon stages of renovating our home, so this book would be the perfect inspiration for new projects to make. I love the modern style of adapting traditional patterns in a new way that's fresh and simple. Maybe this will give me the necessary "push" to be inventive!
Quilt books are like fabric, one can never have too many, and that is why I would love to win this one, but mostly because the samples provided look like patterns that are very appealing to me.

I love the simplicity of the designs and although they are "modern" they are also very classic in many ways-- perfect combo! Thanks for the chance to win! Sarah: crjandsbj(at)netzero(dot)com
I would love a copy of this book, because I like all of the ideas in it!
I need to add some quilts to my house... and all the projects look fabulous - especially the last quilt the blues with triangles. :)
I want this book because I love the baby quilt and really want to make it! I also love the flying geese table runner :)
I tend to be very traditional in my quilting. I would love to try this modern trend to see how it might stretch my style.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Thanks for the reminder! I meant to comment earlier this week.
What a lovely book! There are so many great projects for every room in my house. Thanks for the giveaway.

I love quilt books, and this one looks like it is right up my alley! I'd love to get some new ideas for my winter sewing of gifts!
I'd love to win a copy of this book. There are so many projects that I've already picked out the fabric in my mind! Thanks for the chance.
I LOVE the quilt on the cover!!! That's why I would love this book!
I would so appreciate the fresh modern styles. House needs an update. Chevron pillow is my first project
There is no such thing as too many when it comes to quilts. My beds demonstrate the 'layered look'
- UST as useful in decor as clothing!
