The 10th biannual Albuquerque Fiber Arts Fiesta, opening this week, marks the first stop of the worldwide Modern Quilts tour, which features 20 quilts selected at February’s QuiltCon 2015 in Austin. If you’re picturing patchwork from Little House on the Prairie reruns, all sprigged muslin and sedate pastels…well, let this vibrant beauty (For Tanya by Emily and Miriam Coffey) banish that image. Like what you see? Mark your calendar for next year’s QuiltCon, which will be held in Pasadena. $5 ; May 21–23; fiberartsfiesta.org
