QuiltCon - The Modern Quilting Event of the Year

QuiltCon, presented by the Modern Quilt Guild, is the largest modern quilting event in the world! Each year, it brings together quilters, makers, artists, and vendors from across the globe for an inspiring celebration of modern quilting.

Since 2013, the juried quilt show has showcased some of the very best in modern quilting. Each year, QuiltCon gives out over 40 awards to outstanding modern quilts. The QuiltCon 2026 Quilt Show Awards Ceremony presented 45 awards and over $40,000 in prize money.
