Spotlight on Learning IN MAKE MODERN TRIANGLES
When you joined Make Modern Triangles, what did you want to learn and/or accomplish?

What has quilting taught you about yourself?
I like variety!
What do you like about quilting with triangles?
The endless variety of triangles that can be used in so many ways!
What’s next on your learn-to-do list?
Long-arm quilting- I just bought a long arm machine!
What is your next project?
A small Cosmos challenge quilt- it’s designed but not made yet.

Wow is the only thing I thought, then wow again!!! So so fabulous!! Thank you for sharing!! These are the ones that make me want to try my hand at quilting, as I love navy and white. Then I see a crisp white background and a color explosion and want to. Time will tell if I remain a wantabee or a quiltbee!! Love these quilts!!!!
Congratulations on being the featured on the member spotlight. Your quilts are beautiful. I’ve had the privilege of seeming your fabric pulls but not always the completed quilt. It is great to see them in their complete form and such a credit to your talent. You are inspiring! Keep up the beautiful work!
