There are a number of new exhibits currently at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles. Here's a peek at one of them featuring some of the quilts from the Modern Quilt Guild exhibit. The exhibit runs through July 16, 2017.

 

From the Museum:

Modern quilters work in different styles and define modern quilting in different ways, but several characteristics often appear which may help identify a modern quilt. These include, but are not limited to: the use of bold colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, expansive negative space, and alternate grid work.
