Last Blog Post & Video of the Year! [and Giveaway Winner!]
Make It Modern Quilt
Merry New Year’s Eve eve! I had to laugh last week at a couple of the comments that were left here and over on my YouTube video. I had wished everyone a Merry Christmas Eve eve and some people said that the eve before Christmas Eve is actually Christmas Adam….because Adam came before Eve. I had never heard this before and it gave me a little bit of a chuckle. Is that a new one for you too? Is there some secret eve before New Year’s Eve name I should also know about LOL! =)
I am sharing the final video and blog post of the year today. I wanted to let you all know about the January 2024, $5 pattern of the month. I’ve decided to offer Make It Modern as January’s pattern. You can purchase Make it Modern in my Etsy shop here. If you prefer a Paper version of the pattern, I would recommend purchasing sooner rather than later.
This quilt is available in two different sizes and I am sharing about both of them in today’s video. If any of you are a fan of Angela Walter’s quilting, the solids version was quilted by her and I show that in more detail in the video which you can watch here.
As you can see, solids work beautifully for this quilt but I also wanted to show you some other print options that I mocked up. I’ll share my favorite one first:
Make it Modern in Starberry
I really like this quilt in Starberry fabrics. As I was playing with different fabrics yesterday for this quilt, the design reminded me so much of Ribbon candy. I had to see what it would look like in my new Starberry fabrics. This would be such a quick to piece quilt for the holidays. Just a reminder, Starberry fabrics come out in May, 2024. Quilt shops can still place their orders for it so if you’d like to see it in your favorite quilt shop, be sure to let them know soon! The selling period is just about over. I kind of want to make this one again for myself in these fabrics…imagine it backed in a minky fabric…so cozy!
I also mocked it up using some of the blues from Peachy Keen which I think is pretty as well. Peachy Keen is in quilt shops right now.

And lastly, here’s what it looks like in Strawberry Lemonade by Sherri & Chelsi:
It has a very similar palette to my solids quilt but so pretty in those prints. Strawberry Lemonade fabrics come out in January.
And finally…about that giveaway winner:
The winner is Nadine Merrick who said:
Congrats Nadine!–I’ve already sent an email your way.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by! Corey
Why am I unable to open the rest of your post this morning? This is the first time this has happened to me.
Someone further in the comments said it might have been because of one of the ads. She was able to open the blog after refreshing the page.
Love this quilt in Starberry. Will definitely make that one. I like the small size for a lap quilt.
I thought it was so pretty in Starberry!
I had trouble with opening your post because google kept an ad on that I could not get rid of. I finally had to say I didn’t want to see the ad, it was suppose to close but didn’t, so then I refreshed and finally got to see your blog. Technology isn’t fun sometimes.
Thank you for leaving this comment! It’s always helpful for me to know what might be causing a problem. I am almost always viewing my blog on a computer–I find it more user friendly than viewing on my phone or ipad. And I couldn’t agree more about your technology comment!…when it works it’s great but sometimes it causes some fuss!
Make It Modern in Starberry is my favorite. Peachy Keen is really cute as well.
That’s my favorite too!
Corey I loved your tee shirt on today’s video! Yesterday it was a rainy day here in Vt. So I finally got to finish all of my blocks for Sunny Patches, and my placement done. Today is is finally snowing and I hope to sew it together! Happy 2024
Thanks so much!…I love a good tea when I am sewing. I’m especially fond of Chai—it’s such a cozy drink for this time of the year. But I also like it iced in the summer.
I’m glad you colored it in Starberry. I think I’m going to make it in that fabric line.
Congrats to Nadine for wining your stash busters.
Congratulations Nadine. Happy sewing and designing. Best wishes for the New Year Corey and family. Thank you for all the pretties, and patterns in your colorful world that you share.
Love the modern pattern. God bless in this new year. You inspire us to do great things.
Hope the coming New Year is a good one for you and your family. Really like the new pattern in Starberry, good job. Carolyn
Happy New Year Cory I just purchased 5 of your quilt patters and am just getting back into quilting after 17 years of not doing it. Thanks for the January pattern I will try it first. Love your Saturday videos.
Congrats Nadine. What a gracious comment. You deserve all of the give-always!
I’m spending this weekend cleaning up my sewing room, bundling up my excess that I will probably never use to pass along, and get ready for a fresh start in the New Year. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you have provided! Your fabrics and palette have always spoken to me❤️
I absolutely adore this quilt, but did I miss something? Is this layer cake friendly fat quarters , friendly?
I love all of the fabric collections that you have shared with Make It Modern! I am super excited to make this one! Thank you and Happy New Year!!!
Hi Corey? I’m one that likes a paper version of your $5 patter Make it Modern but I’m having trouble finding it. All I can find is the PDF. Where can I locate it? Thanks,Barbara Phelan. Love this pattern!!!
Corrie thanks for all you do for those who follow you. I love the Peachy Keen version best but I love blue so….. Happy New Year and may God richly bless and keep you and your family in 2024🎉
Christmas Adam is new to me too but makes sense! My husband and I were married on Dec 30 and we have always told people we got married on the Eve of the Eve — our personal name for that date. 🙂 Happy New Year to you, Corey, and your family and to your readers too!
