Make it Modern Pillows with RBD - October 2023

So you know how I made a bunch of pillow patterns for the Make it Modern series last year with Riley Blake Designs? Good news, the fun is back this year with 12 MORE!!! I'll be posting them the third Thursday of every month. In case you missed the 2022 pillow designs, you can see them here!.

In case you missed it, September's pillow POParazzi by the Riley Blake Designers. The colors I used were Grape, Orchid, Violet, Peacock, Aqua, Powder, Blue, and Navy. I love this new fabric line!


For this month's block, I used rectangles and triangles to get a semi-improv look. It definitely has a mid-century modern vibe which you know I love!

 

Blues and greens are always a winning combo! This month’s pillow features Shabby fabric by Lori Holt. The colors I used  were Turtle, Jade, Alpine, Sea Glass, Peacock, Vivid, Soldier, and Denim.

 

I did a classic grid at 1/2" with my 50wt Aurifil thread.
