Having grown up around quiltmaking, Rebecca Bryan has always found inspiration in traditional designs and classic piecing techniques. After making her first official quilt for her first official apartment in college, Rebecca began to explore modern and improvisational quiltmaking. The journey led Rebecca to discover her voice as a maker. Rebecca's love of color is best exemplified in her first book, Modern Rainbow: 14 Imaginative Quilts That Play with Color, which debuted in 2015. Rebecca believes firmly in the power of color as a driver of creativity. If it's not colorful, don't do it. One of the best things about quiltmaking is that each maker creates what they love using their favorite colors, techniques, or patterns. Therefore, Rebecca's favorite patterns to write are those that allow the maker's personality to shine through. Rebecca lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with her husband, four children, and two dogs.
