Welcome to the December 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, August's pillow featured Blossom Fabric by Christopher Thompson. The colors I used were Eggplant, Fuchsia, Peony, Cranberry, Raspberry, Salmon, Cayenne, Orange, and Honey.
I love a good purple and blue comb! This month’s pillow features new basic fabric POParazzi by the Riley Blake Designers. The colors I used were Grape, Orchid, Violet, Peacock, Aqua, Powder, Blue, and Navy.
I did a classic grid at 1/2" with my 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!

Until later, happy quilting!

I am so very late getting in on this year of the next round of these gorgeous pillows!!!!! I’m so excited to see them though even if I am extremely late getting in on this wonderful exciting project. I said last year how much I wanted another year of pillows like them and here they are. Little did I know they were out and I had no idea I could have been enjoying so much sooner! Thank you so much!!!!
