A visit to any quilt show will probably convince you that the average age of a quilter is somewhere north of 50. It’s true that the demographics of quilters suggest an older crowd, but according to the folks at this year’s International Quilt Festival, attendance by younger people was markedly up. This book of bright, lively, and simple quilts with such names as “Flirtation” and “Electric Attitude” was designed to appeal to a younger crowd, and its author is certainly a Gen-X quilter. But you don’t have to be a teenager to appreciate the charms of these 15 colorful and easy-to-make quilts. If this sprightly and easy-to-make group of quilts doesn’t motivate a young quilter, then nothing will.
