Week 6 {Modern Triangle Medallion Quilt Along}

Modern Triangle Medallion· Modern Triangle Quilts· quilt along

17 Aug

 

Welcome to Week 6 of the Modern Triangle Medallion Quilt Along! This week we are winding down our triangle making, by making the last 32 total triangles blocks from Modern Triangle Quilts.

Remember you are always free to set your own pace. But, I will have some prizes to hand out at the end in September. Woot woot! And we’re almost there!

If you’re new to our quilt along, take a few moments to go back to the Introduction Post where you’ll find all the pertinent information about the Modern Triangle Medallion Quilt Along. You’ll also be able to get the introduction printables, which have coloring pages and planning sheets. People have found them to be very helpful. So I don’t want you to miss out!

Heads up! There’s a correction to one of the yardages below. Printables in the BHQ Resource Library have been updated.

Okey doky, let’s jump right into Week 6…

Materials

  • Modern Triangle Quilts 
  • Dark Berry (Kona Berry): 1/4 yard
  • Bright Pink (Kona Pomegranate): 1/2 yard
  • Pale Peach (Kona Flesh): 1/2 yard (UPDATED!)
  • Pink (Kona Pink Flamingo): 1/4 yard
  • Berry (Kona Cerise): 1/4 yard

Make Triangles

All triangle blocks patterns are from Modern Triangle Quilts.

  • 16 of Triangle Block 12 (page 71)
  • 16 of Triangle Block 9 (page 69)

PS! Don’t forget to check out my paperless paper piecing tutorial. Total game changer!

Block Assembly

Once you have the Triangle Blocks made, it’s time to sew them together into square blocks.

First, lay out the triangles blocks according to the picture above. The four Triangle Block 12’s should be in the center with the four Triangle Block 9’s on the outer corners.

Next, you will sew Block 12 and Block 9 into square pairs, or Half Square Triangles, as shown in the picture above. For the upper right and lower left units, press the seams toward Triangle Block 12. For the lower right and upper left, press the seams toward Triangle Block 9.

Sew the units into rows. Press the seams to one side.

Piece the rows together to finish the square block. Press the seams as desired. Make 4 of these Week 6 blocks.

Social Media Sharing and Playing

This is Sierra‘s Week 5 Blocks. I love Sierra’s colors she’s using. Thanks for sharing Sierra!

Instagram: Remember to use this hashtag #MTMquiltalong on Instagram. Due to changes in the Instagram algorithm, I’m more likely to see your post if you tag me @bryanhousequilts. Commenting with the @bryanhousequilts or #MTMquiltalong doesn’t guarantee that I’ll see it. (Why Instagram! Why you gotta be changin’ all the time!?) But if you tag me, I should be able to see your post!

Facebook: Join my newish Facebook group to share your in progress pictures with the group.

Show your work: This week share your progress and any finished blocks!

Bonus Printables

All the templates, patterns, instructions, etc can be found in Modern Triangle Quilts. The instructions were written to cut and make 1 of each block. I’m offering adapted cutting instructions and some adapted piecing instructions to my Newsletter Subscribers and quilt shop owners as a bonus.

Subscriber family you will find the bonus resources for the quilt along here in the BHQ Resource Library. Or click here and receive the “Week 6” printables delivered directly to your inbox.

Quilting is one of those things that sooner or lat Quilting is one of those things that sooner or later becomes more than just a hobby. 🫶

It might start as fabric and a project idea or a pattern…

And then somewhere along the way, you’re thinking about who it’s for, what they’ll love about it, and how they’ll use it. But you’re thinking of them the entire time you make it. 

And they think of you every single time they see it! ✨

And years later, that same quilt is still there on the back of a couch, at the end of a bed, or wrapped around someone you love.

We’re not just making quilts. We’re making memories and things that get used, loved, and held onto long after the last stitch is sewn.

Send this to a mom you want to know you are thinking of this week. 💌

I’ve just revealed a BRAND-NEW pattern!!! 🪄 Alche I’ve just revealed a BRAND-NEW pattern!!! 🪄

Alchemy is my latest block of the month pattern, and this one is for quilters who want something new and maybe even a bit of a challenge! 😉

Presale opens on May 11th. Mark your calendars and follow along! 💕

Do you ever feel like a quilting turtle... slow an Do you ever feel like a quilting turtle... slow and behind? 🐢

Well, let’s just say you’re not alone in that experience! 😅

I know the cycle all too well. Imagine, decide, plan, prep, and sew. Ope... enter mistakes and setbacks. A trip to the fabric store (again). Cut. Stitch. Rip. Stitch.​

Then, the sew-sweet finish! Finally, lol!

When progress feels slow like a turtle... I find it helpful to focus on three things: ⬇️

1️⃣ Celebrate Progress. Just taking the next (teeny tiny) small step can feel every which way but forward. But It’s still progress, especially if you took time for yourself to create! Celebrate it!

2️⃣ Delight in the unknown. Feeling unsure, wanting to quit, or starting over? It’s the normal artist’s experience. Isn’t it great? Haha!

3️⃣ Imagine the end game. Imagine how it’s going to feel when you finish that last stitch! And it’s going to be beautiful! Keep making progress (yes... even if it’s teeny tiny turtle progress!)! We’ve seen it happen, and it’s so possible for you! You can do this.

We all feel like turtles sometimes, that’s why it’s VITAL to celebrate progress, even if it’s block by block or one stitch at a time. 🪡

So today, take some time to celebrate your progress! It’s so thrilling every time I see a block finish! Eeeeeeeee! Every. time! Tell me what you are celebrating in the comments! ✨

So I uh... well, you see... inspiration hit, and I So I uh... well, you see... inspiration hit, and I designed and made a new Block of the Month quilt!

I know, I know... crazy?!

TOMORROW, I'll be revealing the design and walking you through the color choices and all that fun "new project planning" stuff!

Behind the scenes, I'm extra excited because I did the quilty math on the rainbow version, and it turns out we can use fat quarters!

A fat quarter-friendly project just makes choosing fabrics so easy! Fat quarters are like potato chips, you can't just have one... you simply collect them. 🧐

So, if you're like me! You probably have quite a collection of fat quarters. 🌈 🥹

I'll be making this new quilt design alongside you, using my collection of Alison Glass fabrics.

This BOM quilt is more challenging than my other BOM quilts, but still totally doable. Of course, the primary technique will be freezer paper piecing, so you can brush up on your skills in my "Scrappy Whirligig" class. Comment 'FREE' to take the class! 💌

I'm so proud of this quilt, and I cannot wait to show it to you! 🤩 If you want first dibs on the new Block of the Month program, comment 'FIRST' to add your name to the "first dibs" wait list, and I'll be sure you are the first to know when sign-ups are open! 🫶

Mark your calendars... I am revealing a BRAND-NEW Mark your calendars... I am revealing a BRAND-NEW block of the month design on May 1st! 🗓️ ✨

Yes, you read that right! 🙌

I have been working behind the scenes on ANOTHER block of the month pattern, and you’ll finally be able to see it on May 1st! 

And get excited, because this one is completely new and unlike any I have ever released before. I think you’re going to love it. 🤭

👉 Turn on post notifications so you don’t miss the reveal! ✨
