Welcome to the August 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!
Last month’s pillow features Riley Blake's Confetti Cotton Solids. The colors I used were Purple, Super Pink, Cheddar, Lemon Zest, Riley Lime, Scuba, Peacock, and Blueberry.
This pillow features Riley Blake’s Texture basics by Sandy Gervais. The colors I used were Flamingo, Hot Pink, Orange, and Gold.
And of course I did a classic grid at 1/2" with 50wt white Aurifil thread.
Here are some other design ideas!
I am also excited to tell you that 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!
