Make it Modern Pillows with RBD - Bold Braids November 2023

 

Welcome to the November 2023 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 featured Shabby fabric by Lori Holt. The colors I used were Turtle, Jade, Alpine, Sea Glass, Peacock, Vivid, Soldier, and Denim.

 


For this month's block, I used strips of fabric to make a fun weaved design. I call it Bold Braids.


 

This month’s pillow features Bee Vintage fabric by Lori Holt. The colors I used were Mildred Red, Lula Tea Rose, Suzanne Coral, Elaine Tea Rose, Edith Pink, and Gladys Melon.

 

 

 

 

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!
