Block of the Month Program· Modern Triangle Quilts

27 Nov

One of my quilt teacher highlights is seeing my student’s projects come to fruition. I’m pleased to show you some of the fast finishers from the Stargazer BOM program.

Some of these, if not most, of these gals finished before *I* even finished. (It’s been a rough year in the quilt room with all the moving. No more, heh…)

All photos are shared from Instagram and each are linked. So head over to give these finishers some love!

Stargazer project details:

Stargazer ran as my second BOM program in 2019, using triangles from my book, Modern Triangle Quilts. It features three size options, and four preset color options, and a “Yardage Calculator” that allows you to choose your own colors and shop your stash.

So let’s kick it off with a happy place by sharing Gail’s finish in what looks like a movie set we’d like to star in …

And hi, Gail, can we come over? We’ll bring cheese and wine and chocolate? And, yeah, that quilt is cool too, but oh man, wish I were there!

You never know where one small “yes” might lead. You never know where one small “yes” might lead.

👉 One free class could become your first quilt.
👉 Your first quilt could become a hobby you genuinely look forward to at the end of a busy day or whenever you want some time to yourself.
👉 A year from now, you could have a stack of finished blocks, a beautiful quilt draped across your couch, and a skill you never imagined you’d have.

You could be looking at something you made with your own two hands and thinking, “I can’t believe I made that.” 🥹

So if you’ve been watching from the sidelines, wondering if you could do it, or contemplating if you’d even enjoy it...

My advice to you is just take the class.

Learn something new because a year from now, you might be so grateful that you did. 

You have nothing to lose, but so so much to gain.

As a beginner quilter, you sometimes might be aski As a beginner quilter, you sometimes might be asking yourself when you are going to start feeling confident. 👇

And in all honesty, you’re not just going to wake up one day and start feeling confident. 

Most of the really talented quilters that you see on Pinterest and Instagram weren’t just automatically good at it, and I sure wasn’t either. 

For me, confidence wasn’t one big moment or a clear feeling one day. 

It comes project by project. And even now, every single quilt takes me on the same emotional roller coaster. 🎢

💭 “This is going to be beautiful.”
💭 “What was I thinking?”
💭 “I don’t think this is working.”
💭 “Wait... maybe this is working!”
💭 “Ahhhh... I love it.”

Sometimes confidence is trusting yourself enough to keep sewing anyway, and sometimes it looks like trusting yourself enough to walk away from a project that isn’t bringing you joy anymore.

Not every quilt has to be finished, and not every idea has to become your favorite, but every project teaches you something, whether it ends up on your bed, your wall, or back on the shelf.

So if you’re waiting to feel confident before you start your next quilt, just know that the confidence doesn’t come first. It comes from showing up, one project at a time, and just keep sewing. 😉

One thing that helped me build a lot of confidence is being around other quilters who can support you, cheer you on, and celebrate your wins with you, and that’s exactly why I started the Make Modern Triangles Club. 

Every year, we do a block of the month program together, month by month. There are always new members joining,  new projects starting, and others finishing. 

This year, we have TWO block of the month programs, but when you join the club, you get immediate access to the growing library of all of the previous block of the month quilts, along with tons of other resources, workshops, and patterns, so there’s always something to sew and build your confidence one project at a time. ✨

Alchemy is my most challenging block of the month quilt yet, and I feel so lucky to see so many of them coming to life inside the Make Modern Triangles Club! 

We’re learning so much with this quilt, and It’s going to be worth every stitch in the end.

I’ve made enough quilts to know that I am NOT the I’ve made enough quilts to know that I am NOT the only one who has been riding this roller coaster. It’s just part of the creative process that every quilter will go through. 😅

Every project starts with excitement, and then somewhere along the way I convince myself I’ve made terrible color choices, wonder if it’s ever going to come together, and seriously consider putting it back on the shelf. Then, almost without fail, there’s a moment where it all clicks, and the excitement returns. 

If you’ve ever felt this way, I hope you know you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just making a quilt. 

Which part of the roller coaster are you on right now? Comment below! 👇

Month Three already... can you believe it? 😅 This Month Three already... can you believe it? 😅

This is usually the point in a block of the month program where things start to shift. 

The blocks aren’t just individual blocks anymore. You’re beginning to see the design of the quilt come to life, your confidence is growing with every block, and suddenly the project that you once questions was possible starts to feel completely doable.

That’s one of my favorite things about Block of the Month quilts.

You don’t have to tackle the whole quilt at once.

You simply keep showing up, one month at a time, one block at a time, and one sewing session at a time, and you’ll have my tutorials and resources to guide you every stitch of the way.

Before you know it, you’ll have created your very own beautiful quilt! I can’t wait to see all of the Alchemy quilts being made inside the Make Modern Triangles Club keep coming to life. ✨
