Sensational Solid Quilts: A PowerPoint Presentation exploring the origins of Solid Quilt design and what might have inspired them. I will guide you on a visual journey of color exploration and appreciation. I share sensational quilts made with solid fabrics from early Quiltmaking in America through the Modern Quilt Movement of today. I will
