Title banner for blog post that reads Member Makes, TA DA Moments, September 2022, Sparkler modern triangle BOM

Sparkler BOM member makes and the Spooky Summer Quilt Along-ers are nearing the finish line. That means more ta-da moments! And so far, it looks like no “boos” allowed in this spooky show and tell.

Just the cutest “ghouls” around this town.

Sparkler BOM members are making progress in September on all of the BOM blocks. Whether a member is on Month 3 (Yay, Kathy M.!), trying out a Twirly Star freezer paper-pieced block #47 (a free class here) double-timing with Boos and Ghouls triangle blocks, progress is soooo possible.

MORE MEMBER MAKES = ME MORE GIDDY!

By this time in a Make Modern Triangles BOM, I’m feeling the same way I did when I designed the Sparkler last year: giddy!

More quilts, more blocks, more progress and more tada moments!

Even though we’re focused on making the Sparkler BOM in 2022, finished quilts from Bryan House Quilts patterns pop up every month – like Ann U.’s Wildflower that recently won the Viewer’s Choice award at the Gems of the Prairie Quilt Guild. Congratulations, Ann!

SEPTEMBER’s SEW STORM

Many members have been sewing nose-to-needle in August and September – Jakki C., Teresa B., Carolyn B. and Kathy M. and many others posted their progress in the Triangle Chatter Facebook group,

aaaand….Spooky Summer Quilt Along is at Week 11 (already!?) with two to go. Some MMT members need more triangly fun so they are making a Boos & Ghouls quilt, too. QAL’s are a great way to practice freezer paper piecing with modern triangles.

Kathy M. posted: “My recent work – Block 21 and Block 5 and 6. I have completed 56 four-inch blocks. I will have to wait until I return in early October before trying layouts – more grandchildren time is on the schedule!”

The block sets are forming and design walls are filling up fast in September. The blocks appear even more colorful because they are next to their colorful neighbors – they’re all better together! Take a look at these beauties…

Sparkler BOM member Kathy C. finished a block set of four triangles blocks in yellow, gold, magenta and blue fabrics.
Sparkler BOM member Gayle K. finished a block set of teal and gold modern triangle blocks.

Oh! That suh-weeeeet feeling when you color in a finished block set. Right, Kristina?!

Sandy Q.‘s complementary color scheme is brilliant – look at how the yellows and golds twinkle!

Thank you to all our members for sharing your modern triangle progress and ta-da moments!
