Title image Member Makes Sparkler BOM month 3

Sparkler BOM Month 3 member makes are starting to take shape on our design walls! We’ve learned so much and helped each other make progress this month. And it shows!

In fact, during last week alone, we’ve learned four new ways to match seams, specifically for freezer paper piecing. It comes down to pins, marks (or no marks!), sewing direction, where you a seam starts and one or two stitches.

member helpful tips for making modern triangles.

Soooooo…whichever way gives you the best results. No one-size-fits-all method here!

Shout out speech bubble

In other words, find a way that works for YOU and shout out about it, like Chris H. and Charlotte C. did about Pat K.’s method:

“I did two of the five Sparklers today with the whole 1/4′ pin thing and only about half came out. I only ripped out one. The rest are fine with me. I can’t wait to try your method tomorrow!! They are perfect!! Great job!!”

– Chris H.


I tried your suggestion and it is working beautifully. I was a stitch or two off in earlier triangles and it was making me nuts. Thank you for sharing.

– Charlotte C.

Make Modern Triangle members LOVE trying out new methods. And why not? Taking time to play with techniques is worth every minute in the long run.

BTW, close enough is usually good enough for me. What about you?

WOULD YOU RATHER... ⬇️ Bind a quilt or vacuum? 🧐 WOULD YOU RATHER... ⬇️

Bind a quilt or vacuum? 🧐

Apparently, on this day I chose vacuum. 😂

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE to sew. 

But sometimes, when you have that one thing to sew that isn’t a part of quilting that gets you super excited, you find everything else to do instead! 

And on this day, it was vacuuming all the rugs in my sewing room. 

So if you’ve ever felt like you’d rather do pit chores over sewing chores, you’re not alone! Tell me in the comments, would you rather bind a quilt or vacuum? 👇

Just a bit of color inspiration for you to fall in Just a bit of color inspiration for you to fall in LOVE with!!! 💕

Which color is speaking to you most? 😍

Red, pink, purple, peach, something in between, or completely different? ✨

Here’s what I’ve learned after 15+ years of quilti Here’s what I’ve learned after 15+ years of quilting... 🫶

I hear things like these all the time... ⬇️

And honestly, I get it.

Quilting isn’t the problem. The way we’re taught to approach it is.

Quilting doesn’t have to mean:

❌ Marathon sewing sessions
❌ Perfectly matching everything
❌ Fancy tools or silly rules
❌ Finishing an entire quilt before trying something new

It can mean:

✨ Small, doable steps
✨ Using what you already have
✨ Letting the design do the thinking
✨ Finding joy in the process (not just the finish)

If quilting has ever felt “too much,” I promise, there’s another way.

And it’s a whole lot more fun!

Comment “CLUB” if you’re curious to try something new. 👇

WARNING: This might steal your heart. 🤭 I made th WARNING: This might steal your heart. 🤭

I made this cutie-patootie, heart-shaped modern triangle as a little love note to quilters who want to try something new without committing to a whole quilt.

It’s fast, playful, and stash-friendly. It’s designed to give you that magical “TA-DA!” moment almost immediately. ✨

This free pattern is your invitation to:

💕 Play with modern triangles
💕 Use what you already have in your stash
💕 Create something joyful just because
💕 See how one simple shape can unlock endless design possibilities

In this freebie, you get not just one, but TWO different heart designs, because I KNOW quilters like to have options!

If you’ve ever been curious about modern quilting, or just want a cozy Valentine’s sewing project, this one’s for you.

Grab the FREE heart triangle and start stitching today. Comment “HEART” and I’ll send it your way! 💌

All these triangles come together to make one STUN All these triangles come together to make one STUNNING quilt! 🤩

The Echo was such a fun, unique design that was unlike anything I had made with triangles yet. 

It felt bold and different, yet symmetrical. ✨

And of course, made with modern traingles blocks, some were simple, and some were challenging. 

But the whole process from start to finish is so much fun! If you want to learn as you go and make your own version of the Echo, comment ‘ECHO’ and I’ll send you the details to my Block of the Month program, where you get ALL the tools, tutorials, and resources to make this quilt! 🫶

All you have to do is pick your color plan, shop your fabric stash, and get ready to start sewing! 🪡
