Welcome to the February 2024 installment of the Make it Modern pillow series that I created for Riley Blake Designs! In this series, you'll find a collection of 18" modern pillows with a bold modern geometric design that you can easily customize for any space.
Find some quilting inspiration with this fun and fresh modern quilt block tutorial! Grab your favorite quilting fabric and thread to whip up your own quilted pillow to enjoy at home or give as a gift. Great for both experienced and beginning quilters, this quilt project will quickly jump on your to-do list!
In case you missed it, last month's block used squares to make a fun folksy design. It featured Blossom Fabric by Christopher Thompson. The colors I used were Honey, Raspberry, Peony, Wisteria, and Orange.
This pillow features Sparkler Fabric by Melissa Mortensen. The colors I used were Baby Pink, Rose, Raspberry, Alpine, Jade, Orchid, Eggplant, Lake Blue, and Denim.
I did a classic grid at 1/2" with 50wt Aurifil thread.
I am also excited to tell you I made some fun freebie printables packet to help you plan out your pillow! They include a FABRIC PLANNING PAGE, a COLORING PAGE, and a FABRIC LABEL PAGE. To get them emailed to you, fill out the form below to join my email list!
