Merry Modern Triangles – Day 11

Modern Triangle Quilts· quilt along· Sewing with Triangles· Uncategorized

19 Dec

Merry Modern Triangles – 12 Days of Festive Trees is officially on Day 11.

A big ta-dah moment is almost here…just one more day!

Today we’re piecing the rows together and tomorrow’s FINISH is assembling the whole shabang.

BTW, I’m rolling out a new “day” of Festive Trees every day except Sundays. Jump in anytime – Jane B. started midway through – see the triangles she busted out in a half a day.

Here we go!

T’is the season…you can play along or watch and come back to this later after loads of holiday merriment. 

HOW THE MERRY MODERN TRIANGLES QUILT ALONG WORKS

I’m rolling out a new “day” of Festive Trees every day except Sundays.

Officially, the quilt is a reimagined “Isosceles Sampler” on page 101 of Modern Triangle Quilts. But, hey… the world is your oyster so we’ll be sharing LOADS of creative member makes!

Fabric selection for Merry Modern Triangles quilt along.

Make Modern Triangles members have access to the coloring page, instructions and downloads or quilt along. Since, we’re working from the Modern Triangle Quilts book I’ve made each relevant page temporarily available in the downloads section.

*These posts features 12 seconds of Holiday music and then the body of the post will link to actual instructional videos. 

If you have my book Make Modern Triangles you already have all of the triangles and trimming templates to make the project, too. Plus inspiration each day from the posts.

Jump for joy in your holiday fabric stash and whip up these cuties in no time.

My Progress: 

I’m still on track! I’ve sewn on the background pieces to the sides of the triangles so I can assemble the quilt tomorrow.

I love seeing the blocks on their backgrounds.

MERRY MODERN TRIANGLES SHOUT OUTS

Lillian N. makes swift progress and hopes to have her quilt on the longarm by tomorrow. Go, Lillian, go!

Member Lillian N. pieced her rows of triangles together with the background pieces.
Lillian N. finished piecing her rows. Wooot!

Jane B. jumped in midway through the quilt along and busted out these triangles in a half day.

Jane B. was surprised how quickly her triangles “materialized”. Hehe.

Thank you for being a part of the Make Modern Triangles program!

My work-in-progress pile is getting to the point w My work-in-progress pile is getting to the point where I am not allowing myself to start anything new until I finish something else. 😅

I love starting things. I love the fabric pull and the “ooh what if…” energy and that first seam where everything still feels full of possibility.

But lately, I’ve been looking at my stack of half-done quilts and realizing… I don’t actually want more beginnings. I want more endings.

I want that moment when the blocks finally hit the design wall, and the entire pattern starts to come to life. When I step back and think, “Wow. I made that!” 

And I have a feeling a few of you know exactly what I mean. 🧵✨

Tell me… are you a serial starter, or are you in your “let’s finish what we began” era too?

The best way to learn is to just start. 👇 So many The best way to learn is to just start. 👇

So many people think things like...

“That’s way too detailed.” 
“I could never make that.”
“I don’t have time for that.”
“I’m not creative enough.”

And every single year, we have complete beginners and first-time quilters inside the Make Modern Triangles Club that make their very own quilt from start to finish. 🪄

All of my programs are accessible for brand-new quilters to learn and sew along, so that they end up with something beautiful that they made themselves. 

And the best part, is that you’re not alone. You’ll be learning and sewing alongside a community of ALL different skill-levels, and you’ll have the entire group to support you along the way. 🫶

so if you’re someone who has been thinking about quilting but you think you couldn’t do it, or it looks too hard, I challenge you to just start. You never know what you might create.

We all have that one technique we avoid. For me... We all have that one technique we avoid. For me... It’s needle turn appliqué! 🤭

Maybe it’s curved piecing... or resizing a block because the math (duh!). Or maybe it’s that pile of scraps that continues to go untouched because you’re afraid you might waste them. 👀

What if you could conquer all of that in just one week?

The Quilters Paradise Summit (QP26) is coming up March 9-16, and I am so excited to be a part of it! It is the biggest online event for quilters who want to level up their creative journey.

During the online summit, you’ll learn how to: 

✅ Resize ANY quilt block using a simple grid method (no more guessing!).
✅ Conquer curves using the “boob and bra” analogy (yes, really!) for perfect Drunkard’s Paths.
✅ Master Serger Quilting to piece, bind, and finish quilts faster.
✅ Design custom quilt labels using free tools like Canva.
✅ Transform scraps into “bricks,” “crumbs,” and stunning art pieces.

And the best part? It’s all coming to you FREE during the summit! 🎟️

I’ll be teaching alongside 25+ incredible experts in the quilting industry. Comment “SUMMIT” to reserve your spot for free! ✨
