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.

Officially, the quilt is a reimagined “Isosceles Sampler” on page 101 of Modern Triangle Quilts. 

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.

NOTE: Each post 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: 

TA-DAH! (trumpets blaring)

Ta-dah!

If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s exactly what I’d do: ⬇️

👉 Find a community of quilters to connect with, learn from, and grow with. People who cheer you on, celebrate your blocks, and make you want to keep going!!! 

👉 Make it easier on yourself with freezer paper piecing. This technique completely changed my life. I wanted to give up on quilting altogether at one point before I found freezer paper piecing. 

It’s not that you don’t finish quilts…

It’s that you don’t have the right support or the right process yet. 🧵✨ Comment ‘FREE’ to take my free class, learn the freezer paper piecing technique, and get invited to join an amazing community. 💕

Sometimes, a few hours (or days) in the sewing room just makes it all alright. 🙌

One thing that will NEVER get old with freezer paper piecing... ⬇️

The number of blocks I can sew from just ONE foundation! 🙌

It always amazes me, and it’s one of my favorite things about the technique. 

I save so much time not having to make a new foundation for every single block, and that’s not to mention the time saved from not having to rip the paper bits of those foundations out of the seams. ✨

I’m hosting a free class where I teach you this technique, and give you a modern triangle block pattern to start sewing!

There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting wor There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting world to finish what we started. 👇

But if you’re stuck staring at a stack of unfinished blocks, and it’s keeping you out of the sewing room because it’s the last thing you want to sew right now, this is the advice that I would give you. 

It’s okay to put a project down for a while. 🫶

I’ve had projects and quilts that sat folded up for weeks… months… even longer. Projects I avoided because I got stuck, or lost momentum, or honestly just wasn’t in the mood to sew that anymore. AND IT’S OKAY! 🙌

Every single time I came back to them after putting them down for a while, I felt that spark for sewing again. I felt the inspiration that I started the project with, and I started ENJOYING it again. ✨

So if you have something that you’re avoiding sewing, let this be your permission slip to just put it down and know that you’ll come back to it when the time is right. 

Put your favorite emoji in the comments if you needed to hear this. 💕
