More About This Issue
In quilting, there are many ways to get similar results. This issue we’ve got a selection of triangle quilt patterns, but they’re all unique, as are the ways they’re constructed. Whether it’s through foundation paper piecing, making half rectangle triangle units, half square triangle units or flying geese, the end result is always awesome. The good news for quilters is that there’s no single technique for anything, whether it’s piecing triangle quilts, applique, foundation paper piecing, curved piecing or quilting. While our directions reflect the designer’s personal tastes, we encourage you to use your favourite techniques to get the desired result.
Also in Issue 16 we MEET Faith Jones of Fresh Lemons Quilts and Make Modern regular contributor Leanne Parsons of Devoted Quilter. We MAKE modern triangle quilts, orange peel quilts and give old blocks a fresh feel. We chat mixing techniques in quilt projects, and we MOTIVATE you to speak your mind through your quilts with a gallery of modern word quilts. We also chat about Little Quilts of Love Charity Quilts, give you a how to guide to resize your FPP patterns, and managing your quilting time. Plus modern quilt book reviews to give your library a refresh. There’s so much to show you this issue!

Why Readers Love Make Modern
This is a great magazine and there are now loads more items on my "I'm going to make this one day" list. There is also a lot of excellent "how to.." advice.
Super customer friendly subscription service and so completely worth it. This is a source and resource, continual inspiration that will keep your mind creating beyond the norm for years to come. Opening each new issue is like giving yourself a modern, quilted gamut of color burst imagination. Can't recommend it enough!
Really enjoyed this magazine. Layout makes sense to me, and some very doable patterns for all levels, and photography is a treat. 😉🇨🇦
I like the modern take on old blocks, the bright colours used to display the designs used. The reading is interesting and informative and I generally get great ideas for my own quilting journey.
Thank you for the copy of Issue 33. I enjoy your quilts.
I am loving this magazine. Lots of good articles and beautiful quilts. I have found a lot of help from the tips and tricks from other quilt makers. Check them out.
beautiful magazine with excellent articles and easy to follow patterns to make amazing quilts.
The whole team does a fantastic job and the magazine often has very good competitions.
an app would be excellent to keep all copies in one place but this still works well enough.

Love the inspiration and explanations offered in this magazine! As someone who’s looking to move beyond beginner quilts, the great detail but often simple instructions are a godsend for me. Plus the amazing designs and maker stories offer such insight that my “to make list” is growing with each edition. I don’t get to lessons very often, so this... is such a fabulous ongoing resource for me, with lots of “ah, so that’s how you do it!” moments while reading. Keep it coming team...read more
