| Marina Kontsevaya: Hashtag quilt This won third in this section and was my personal favourite. I liked the large scale graphic design, the choice of fabric and the dense quilting worked here to create a pleasing texture. |

| Kim Moran-Jones: Friends and Lovers At first glance this looks very traditional and I like the tactic of applying the hexagons rather than piecing them. The contrast between florals and the improvised denim background brings it into the modern/contemporary genre though and hand stitching is a feature of many modern quilts. There's even a whole section for handwork at QuiltCon. The title refers to the original owners of the jeans used! |

| Nicholas Ball: Triangle Study 3 Super quilt. I think it was second in the modern section. This could equally be contemporary but many makers like to associate themselves with the modern zeitgeist. |
 |
| Mary Mayne: My day is complete I always check out Mary Mayne's quilts. She can turn her hand to anything. Text is a big thing for modern quilters though usually more stridently political or feminist not contented as here. The use of negative/positive letters isn't obvious at first. |
