The Modern Quilt Guild (MQG) developed out of the thriving online community of modern quilters and their desire to start meeting in person. The founding guild was formed in Los Angeles in October of 2009.
Through blogs and the Internet, word spread quickly of the fun they were having and soon guilds started popping up everywhere.
QuiltCon is the yearly quilt show of the Modern Quilt Guild, hosting over 600 modern quilts and welcoming well over 10.000 visitors every year.
