Hey there fellow quilters!
With a whopping total of 616 beautiful modern quilt projects now in our pattern archives, I couldn’t resist sharing this idea that our team came up with last time we chatted … a blog series highlighting some of our favourite patterns, handpicked by our team. From seasonal projects to colourful rainbows, and this month’s special feature, quilts for your Valentine! ❤️
So, without further ado …
Clockwise from top left: From way back when in our pattern archives is Love Song Quilt by Jane Kelly from Make Modern Issue 7; the next cutie is Heart’s Treasure Mini Quilt by Taina De Paula from Make Modern Issue 53; the stunning cover quilt from our latest issue, Dancing Hearts Quilt by Monika Henry from Make Modern Issue 56; and a sweet Pink Hearts Table Runner also by Monika Henry from Make Modern Issue 23.
All of these fantastic patterns have been published in Make Modern magazine. You can grab the pattern by purchasing the issue they’re featured in. Plus, since each issue contains 10 patterns, you’ll get 9 extra goodies too! Alternatively, you can dive right into our entire collection of 56 issues and counting with an All-Access Subscription giving you access to our entire catalogue via one simple link, instantly plus an ongoing annual subscription.
Already an All-Access Subscriber? Well you’re in luck – you’ve already got access to these great patterns so go and get sewing! We’d love to see your masterpieces so don’t forget to show us when you’re done.
And if you’re already a subscriber but want to upgrade to All-Access, just flick me an email. Easy peasy!

Until next time, keep stitching and spreading the quilt love!
Warm regards,
