Quilting isn't just for Grandma anymore

Contemporary Quilt Making, sounds like a joke to me however, Luke is doing it and doing it well.  Residing in Seattle this unique artist is making fully functioning art that is also easy on the eye.  His bold colors and perfect use of shade and shadows make his quilts truly...contemporary. These intriguing works of art are really brought to life after watching this video of Luke making a small portion of one of his masterpieces.
