We’re excited to help Jessica Levitt kick off the blog tour for her new book, Modern Mix: 16 Sewing Projects That Combine Designer Prints & Solid Fabrics. The book includes patterns for seven quilts, pillows, bags and more, and shows you how to integrate large-scale prints and bright solids to best feature the designer fabrics you love.
The book is organized into chapters based on the use of solids in each pattern. From the Stash blog:
- Back Me Up—using solid fabrics as a background for your favorite prints
- Strips and Stripes—adding strips of solids to highlight your gorgeous prints
- Accentuate the Positive—little bits of solid colors to bring out the best in pattern
- Steal the Show—piecing solids as the focus of your project
Your comment today enters you to win a copy of Modern Mix: 16 Sewing Projects That Combine Designer Prints & Solid Fabrics.
You win no matter what though because today you can download an exclusive PDF pattern for the Stripe of Strips Pillow from Modern Mix! The pattern gives you insight into the style of projects in the book, and shows you how Jessica’s clear instructions help guide you to create a perfect “modern mix” of fabrics.
Below is the full tour schedule, which you can also see on Jessica’s Juicy Bits blog; on her final stop she’s giving away a bundle of fat quarters from her latest fabric collection, Kingdom. Download your pattern today, and comment for a chance to win the book!

Will definately make this pillow with one of the great new fabric collections at the quilt shop I work at.Thank you! Need new design/ technique inspiration for next semesters classes. This book looks like it could be the one. We’ve been looking to be inspired with creative use of solids and prints..
Looks like an awesome book
What a great idea for a book! I love a lot of the modern prints but too much of a good thing gets to be visually distracting.
Those string quilts and that amazing cerise blue are killing me!!! I love the boldness of the colors!
I’m so excited about this book and the tour. I have been quilting more “traditional” in the past and I’m wanting to widen my horizons.
Thanks so much for the giveaway and the chance to win.

Solids are the surprising magic in quilts, they both ground the prints and add depth in hue and intensity. This book understands the alchemy of that mix so well!

WOW! Pretty! Would love to add that to my library!
Prints (and solids) never looked so good!
i need some inspiration for using solids. I’m not really a “modern” quilter but i love the look of these beautiful quilts. i’m slightly intimidated by solids. i would love to win this and try some of these amazing quilts! thanks.
Maybe this could be my “First” quilt. I need this book.
Love the modern look!
Wow. I love that string quilt. Both color combinations are really striking.
Wow, just what I need. I love fun colorful prints but I never know what to do with them,
This book looks awesome, and I need some color in my life
Wow! This book looks great!
Lovely! Beautiful photos. I can’t seem to finish a quilt unless there’s a solid in there. Thanks!
I like the technique used in the downloadable pattern. I’ve seen other similar designs where you sew all the pieces together at various angles but the way this one is sown, it looks more like they are just folded over each other. It’s very soft looking that way.
This book looks perfect! Thank you for the pillow tutorial.
Looks like a great book… and just when I’m starting to get interested in using more solids in my quilts. Thanks for the giveaway.

These quilts literally made my jaw drop; how beautiful! Favorite is hands down the quilt on the cover with the circles. I love the way she uses solids and prints to accent or feature particular fabrics; wish I was better at stuff like that!!!

Just because you use a beautiful fabric doesn’t make your project great- you have to highlight it well. These projects do just that. Utilize a fabulous fabric, and give your eyes the space to enjoy it. Fabulous! And I would love to make them all!
Really like the stripe of strip pillows and will definitely give them a try! Thank you!

I sooo want to do the quilt on the cover. It is stunning.
This book looks oh-so interesting with lots of inspiration. Thanks for the chance to win. If I do so, I’ll be sharing it with members of our new Des Moines Chapter of The Modern Quilt Guild.
I love the cover quilt! Thanks for the giveaway and pdf!
Oooh! Looks like fun!
This would be a great gift for my sister!
I would love to win a copy of this book! mixing designer prints and solids is one of my favorite combos and it would be awesome to get some new ideas!
What a great idea! I admit I can be too cautious about mixing and matching, not to mention have loved some prints I wanted to buy but just couldn’t see in a larger project b/c it was just a little TOO bold. Well, that and being able to use some of those more expensive fabrics without breaking the bank. Sounds like this book lets you have the best of both worlds!
Those quilts look lovely. And I love the blue from those cushions – am off to raid my stash to find something to make these with.
What a great idea for a book! I know there are a lot of us out there who could use help combining prints and solids.
This book looks delicious! And thanks for the PDF pattern…off to the sewing room!
Solids mixed with patterns…something I can definitely use some help with.
i love that stripe pillow – can’t wait to try it!
These are beautiful patterns!!
Thank you for sharing!!
LOVE the quilt on the cover of the book and its modern design. will have to purchase the book , just for that pattern alone!
