Popular quilt and fabric designer Thomas Knauer leads the conversation, sharing the whys behind these twelve quilts. You'll see that inspiration can come from truly anywhere: your thoughts on the current issues, your bond with an online community, your relationship to traditional quilting, a sweet comment made by a child. Whether incorporating everyday items, such as barcodes and cinderblocks into the design, or using symbolic colors and prints to convey your message, infusing your quilts with meaning is easier than you think. Join the conversation and start making personal, practical quilts with meaning. "Thomas's take on the past, present and future of quilting will challenge your assumptions about the role of this 'traditional' craft in society. The projects in this book are inspiring and prove that quilting today is a vital and modern reflection of our times." --Denyse Schmidt Review: Inspiration on every page - While I have been a quilter for 25 years, I have recently returned to school for graphic design. Since I have been away from the quilting community for a bit, I've let my book buying lapse except for this book. I pre-ordered it knowing it was one I would not want to miss. I usually find some inspiration or want-to-make quilts in the books I buy, this one has truly captured me. It is still on the coffee table as I am not willing to put it away on the shelf. When I look at the quilts, and even more so, read some of the stories behind the quilts, there is an uneasy feeling that I have been away from quilting too long, that I am missing something exciting. The message I got in this book from Thomas is not "look what I made' but `go make something.' True to that I began cleaning off my quilting tables and pulling out some unfinished projects this week... I have not made any of the quilts yet, but the quilts certainly look doable for a wide range of quilters, the instructions and diagrams look very clear. My first choice - Ampersand - I keep going back to that one and imagining it hanging on my wall. Review: More than a Quilt book!! - From the beginning you can tell that this book is different from other quilt books. It is like a conversation with the author. It is written in his "voice" from the tools needed to the explanation of quilts to the directions themselves. Knauer delves into the reasons that quilts are made. As a quilter I never thought past making a quilt for someone. After reading his reasoning, I totally agree with all the reasons behind what we do. Some of these quilts touch on views and politics that most people are afraid to discuss. It doesn't matter your views on these issues as long you are respectful of the person giving them. Kudos on the guts to voice these views. This is definitely a book to read and think about. It is a wonderful bonus that it has beautiful quilts in it!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 62 Reviews | ## Images ![Modern Quilt Perspectives: 12 Patterns for Meaningful Quilts - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yvwm-Wv9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiration on every page *by K***K on April 3, 2014* While I have been a quilter for 25 years, I have recently returned to school for graphic design.

They are dreadful to read. Every sewing and quilting book I've ever picked up has a section called Tools and Materials. Buy the best stuff, don't be cheap, have loads of fancy tools. When you read Thomas' book it is clear that there is a real person there advising you. He is conversational and personal, and yet knowledgeable. The quilts in this book are visually exciting and draw you in. Each quilt has a message to deliver, one that will touch your heart. Thomas Knauer IS modern quilting. He gets it. He lives it. He inspired me. Buy this book. You will not regret it. Plus, you'll have something nice to read when you're in the loo. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/11162690-modern-quilt-perspectives-12-patterns-for-meaningful-quilts](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/11162690-modern-quilt-perspectives-12-patterns-for-meaningful-quilts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
