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.

Always print your templates at 100% scale.

Before cutting your fabric, measure the 1-inch test box on your template.

Even being slightly off can affect the accuracy of your blocks later on and lead to some BIG oopsies. 😅

This is one of those tiny steps that saves a LOT of frustration later... Speaking from experience, and more re-done blocks than I could ever count!

1️⃣ Make a test block. I know it’s tempting to s 1️⃣ Make a test block. 

I know it’s tempting to skip this step... I cannot tell you how many times I have skipped making a test block and ended up regretting it later. If I had just made the test block, it would have saved me HOURS and HOURS of seam ripping and re-sewing, so take my advice and just always make the test block! 

I have never regretted making a test block, but I have regretted not making one. 😅

2️⃣ Celebrate the ta-da moments.

I’m not talking about just the finished quilt. I mean EVERY moment along the journey that feels like a win. Picking your colors and fabrics, sewing that first block, the points that line up, arranging blocks onto the design wall... Celebrate as much as you can along the way. 

I think too many quilters rush past these moments because they’re just focused on the finish line, but quilting isn’t one big “ta-da!” It’s a bunch of little “ta-da” moments stitched together.

3️⃣ Learn the freezer paper piecing technique.

I’m not kidding when I say it completely changed my quilty life... The more I quilt, the more I realize that frustration doesn’t make a quilt more valuable. Struggling doesn’t make you a better quilter. A good process gives you more confidence, helps you enjoy the sewing, and frees up a lot of your time to keep quilting. It makes you want to come back tomorrow and sew another block! 

Quilting is meant to be enjoyed and there’s so much to learn along the way. These three things have been HUGE along my quilting journey, and I know they can make an impact on yours too.

When I say I’ve tried it all, and quilting was the When I say I’ve tried it all, and quilting was the only thing that stuck, I MEAN IT! 😅

👉 Tried gardening, and all the plants would die before I got around to them. 
👉 Tried crochet, and discovered I can’t count that high (or just don’t want to!)
👉 Tried making kids’ clothes, and they always grew out of them before I could finish. 

But quilting? THAT’S my bread and butter. 

It was my mom who got me into quilting many years ago, and I’ve even been teaching quilting for over a decade. 

I’ve built a community of thousands of quilters from all over, at all ages and all skill levels. 

And the most important part of what we do is have FUN. 🙌
