Make it Modern Pillows with RBD - May 2022

Make it Modern Pillows with RBD - May 2022

I'm back with installment #5 of my 2022 Make it Modern Pillows series for Riley Blake Designs! I'll be posting a new modern 18" pillow design the second Wednesday of every month! In case you missed April's pillow design, you can see my post HERE

This month’s pillow features the Sparkler basics line by Melissa Mortenson that just came out last fall. The colors I used (in order from left to right) were Jade, Riley Green, Baby Pink, Rose, and Raspberry. 

 

 

You can never go wrong with pinks and greens!

 

 

And I'm still in love with this matchstick quilting!

Each month the pillows will be featuring a different Riley Blake Basics collection, but of course I had to be a little extra. I decided to pick 5 of my favorite Confetti Cottons solids and make each block into a quilt sampler.

Here's my second block! I love these colors! I used Mermaid, Scuba, Mac n' Cheese, Riley Lime, and Riley Hot Pink. Each month along with my pillow, I'll show you the "brights" version of each quilt and at the end I'll reveal the final sampler quilt!

 

 

 

I hope you all enjoy these pillow patterns I've put together! I have a feeling I'll be making some more versions too! Be sure to share all your makes on social media and tag me on Instagram at @sewbrainy

Until later, happy quilting!
Jamie
