Quadrille is a simple update to a quarter cabin block.  I love the shapes and patterns that emerge with the addition of half-square triangle units! Quadrille: Quadrille  measures 63″ x 72″ with fabric and block requirements for a twin quilt included. Pieced by me – on my Baby Lock Melody. Quilted by Natalia Bonner - with all [...]

Pleated Patchwork is the one that almost got away! Since there is nothing else in the book quite like it, I put it in the front to set the tone of the book.  Adding texture to living spaces, is the whole goal! This quilt is a great way to incorporate a variety of prints, in [...]

Pivot is a fun quilt to piece, and dynamic! Pivot : Pivot measures 54″ x 63″. Pieced by me – on my Baby Lock Melody. Quilted by Natalia Bonner - with all the quilts in Modern Neutrals, I asked Natalia to keep it simple, no frills, and I love the results! Fabrics used in Modern Neutrals were [...]

Placid Curves is a showstopper! I've watched a number of people flip through Modern Neutrals, and nearly every one had to stop and look at Placid Curves just a bit longer than the rest. While there are a lot of tiny squares and rectangles, there are actually not any curves - simply the illusion of [...]

Piked Peaks is a controlled scrappy quilt, made with half-square triangle units.  I fell in love with the layout and had to make it! Piked Peaks : Piked Peaks measures 48″ x 60″ with fabric and block requirements for a smaller baby size included. Pieced by me - on my Baby Lock Melody. Quilted by [...]

In Motion, is one of my favorite quilts in the book! With lots of half-square triangle units, this quilt is not  a quick project, but SO worth the time and energy! My girls helped me press all those HST units, having an assistant or two is always helpful :) I shared about my fabric selection and [...]

Double Diamonds is one of the more intricate designs in the book, but a fun challenge! The blocks can be turned lots of different ways to make different patterns - I had a hard time deciding which way to set them for the book.  I shared about my fabric selection and classification process in this post. Double [...]

Digital Pinwheel is one of the more simple designs in the book, I love the graphic sense to the quilt, and the subtle movement in the depth of the fabric tones. I shared about my fabric selection and classification process in this post. Digital Pinwheel : Digital Pinwheel  measures 60″ x 72″ with fabric and block [...]

Modern Neutrals has been available for purchase just over a month, and I thought it time to share a little more about the project!  This book was different than my other two, in that I didn't look for collections of neutral fabrics (there aren't many), instead I looked for the neutral prints within fabric collections [...]
