Merry Modern Triangles – 12 Days of Festive Trees is officially on Day 7.
We’re making blocks 12 and 13 with the freezer paper piecing method. BTW, I’m rolling out a new “day” of Festive Trees every day except Sundays.
Here we go!
Today, you’ll be making two blocks and prepping your foundations (you can use either paper or freezer paper).
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
For the next 2 weeks I’ll be rolling out a new “day” of Festive Trees every day except Sundays.
Officially, I’ll be sharing a reimagining of the “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!
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.
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.

Here’s what I made for Day 7, blocks 12 and 13:
Check out this adorable quilt made by member Julie W.
It’s like “I Spy Meets Holiday Magic” – look closely to see all the cuteness!
I’m amazed at the possibilities with holiday prints, especially when mixed with solids to ground them in the design. When I saw Julie’s quilt the first time, I went tunneling through my stash for very merry fabrics!
Thank you for being a part of the Make Modern Triangles program!

P.S. I’ll be back with Day 8 with even MORE freezer paper pieced triangles.

One of these years, I am absolutely going to get my ish together and make this! It’s so stinking cute. Alas, I don’t think this is the year. But don’t judge if you start seeing my trees in July!!!
