Member Makes with Modern Triangles

Block of the Month Program· Modern Triangle Quilts· quilt along· Sewing with Triangles

19 Oct

Member makes with modern triangles are lighting up October! Today is the THAT day when we celebrate all of the triangle beauties, progress and finishes. So many accomplishments!

Member Makes HIGHLIGHTS

Sparkler BOM wrapped up the block-making portion in Month 9. Yup, nine months worth of blocks. Our quilting muscles are stronger, right?!

We celebrate all of the TADA! moments, whether members are nearing the finish line or starting out. A win is a win, progress is progress any time it happens. Just keep moving forward!

The Spooky Summer Quilt Along unleashed a fresh supply of Boos and Ghouls – you gotta see these adorable finishes in the gallery below.

My little ghost quilt flew away to the local farmers market, where she found her long lost twin across the street…hehe.

ANTIcipation is MOSTLY FUN

Yesterday, I released the quilt assembly instructions for Sparkler BOM Month 10. I know many members were waiting with their blocks and excited about starting Month 10. Waiting in a good way, right!?

We’re here!

Sparkler tops will pop up in the MMT community group from here on out and it’s a thrill every time. We’ve watched these blocks take shape and documented our progress. Oooo’d and aaaah’d over them.

Each month we’ve seen a bigger piece of each member’s “puzzle” in an amazing variety of print fabrics and solid colors.

Now it’s your turn to gasp. Let’s revel in the member makes with modern triangles this past month. Gah, you guys! Awesome job!

Erin’s tada moment!

Sometimes, modern triangles from my book Modern Triangle Quilts show up at quilt shows, like this one in St. Cloud, Minnesota last weekend. Check out the free motion quilting – so pretty! I spy a ribbon, too.

Single BLocks

I design and release single blocks in the members’ hub, also known as expansion packs. They are little quilty bonuses when an idea begs to become a block. Block 47 is popular because it’s a great way to learn freezer paper piecing while playing with modern triangle blocks.

I gush over triangle blocks a lot, however, bookcase quilts were recently mentioned in our MMT Virtual Sew In and Linda N. posted her version. Love the details! Thank you, Linda.

I was ready to give up on foundation paper piecing I was ready to give up on foundation paper piecing altogether, and then I was introduced to freezer paper piecing, and it changed my whole world forever.

Let’s talk about Freezer Paper Piecing versus traditional Paper Foundation Piecing. 👇

The techniques are similar, both methods focus on precision and ease of assembly, but with Freezer Paper Piecing, you get to reuse your templates without turning them into confetti! 🎉 MAJOR WIN!

All you have to do is trace a few copies onto freezer paper or use printable sheets for your printer. It’s versatile, efficient, and saves you tons and tons of time.

🌟 The key benefits of freezer paper piecing: 🌟

👏 Reuse & Recycle: No more wasteful piles of ripped paper templates.
👏 Easy Removal: Templates peel off effortlessly, leaving your masterpiece intact.
👏 Versatility: From intricate designs to straightforward patterns, freezer paper can be used for any foundation.

WAY MORE TIME TO QUILT! 🙌

In all of my programs, we use the Freezer Paper Piecing method, and anyone can learn this, even first-time quilters! I’ve got a NEW block-of-the-month quilt design coming soon, so follow along if you’re looking for a faster and easier way to paper-piece! ✨

I’ll go first: I can find quilt inspiration in approximately ANYTHING. I own fabric that is apparently too special to actually use, and “one more seam” has never once meant one more seam.

A couple of weeks ago, I picked my colors for next A couple of weeks ago, I picked my colors for next year’s “Starburst” Block of the Moth, and I had to laugh at myself because even though I started with a few pretty pinks and yellows as my inspiration...

I devolved back to rainbows for my final selection. I do love a rainbow gradient! So glorious, so delicious!

Honestly, sometimes it takes me several, several, several rounds to get the colors just how I want them. 😭  But the good news is, I do have the rainbow fabric on hand!

Now I can Netflix and sew... as I work on my Starburst sample! Hooray!

Who else just can’t resist a rainbow palette??? Follow along @bryanhousequilts to be the first to see my latest “Starburst” design! 💫

SWIPE to see the big finish, my completed Peppermi SWIPE to see the big finish, my completed Peppermint Twist Dutch Summer! 🤍

The joy really is in the journey with my Block of the Month programs, where every single month you make one block, sew your whole batch, and, month by month, start to see the design come together with each new block.

And that’s why ANYONE can make this quilt! Yes, even a first-timer! 

You don’t have to sit down and make an entire quilt all at once. You make one batch of blocks, then another, and another... You learn as you go, watch your skills develop, and slowly start seeing the whole quilt come together.

And then one day, all those individual triangles you’ve been making come together and you’ve made THIS. 🥹

I absolutely love how this Peppermint Twist version of Dutch Summer turned out, and seeing all of the blocks together makes me want to do the whole thing all over again in another color palette! 😂

If you want to make your own version of the Dutch Summer, comment ‘DUTCH’ and I’ll send you the details! 💌
