The quilt pattern was designed with a little ‘80s flair and named, ‘Like, Totally’ Quilt, by (@imfeelincrafty). Guild members were invited to join in the quilt-making process by choosing their own fabrics and piecing the individual blocks as they were released each month with detailed instructions by Louise Wackerman. This exhibition is a sample of completed quilts by Guild members.

The ‘Like, Totally’ Quilt design was inspired by a blending of traditional quilt shapes and piecing techniques with a modern twist.  The quilt exhibits a modern style characterized by bold geometric shapes arranged in a striking and unexpected way. The pattern lends itself to interpretation with the color, pattern and quilting texture choices of the individual maker.

Quilt Designer Louise Wackerman is a Seattle architect for her day job and an artist, crafter, photographer, sewist and quilter in her free time. She blogs about her inspiration and art of making things at feelincrafty.wordpress.com. She picked up quilting 15 years ago and it has become her main artistic outlet. She embraces all types of modern quilting, but feels the most free when sewing her own designs and especially engaging in improvisational quilting. Her quilts have hung in both local and international quilt shows. 

The Seattle Modern Quilt Guild is a group of modern quilters who love to sew together. As part of the worldwide organization, The Modern Quilt Guild, since 2010, the Guild was formalized as a non-profit organization in 2013. In-person meetings are held in Seattle, but membership includes quilters from the greater Puget Sound area and beyond. Since the pandemic the Guild has grown to include online members from throughout the US who value the compelling speakers, great workshops, support and other resources.
