One of the defining characteristics of modern quilting is the use of solids. There are so many great solids-only quilts out there, and here's a little sampling (taken from the Simply Solids Quilts group on Flickr). As you can see, a quilt doesn't need prints to make a statement.

Of course, we don't only use solids in quilts, but it's nice to throw them in every now and then. If you want to see more solids-only quilts, check out the group on Flickr - there's over 2,000 pictures in that group alone!
Look at you and a blog post! Great idea!
