Merry Modern Triangles – 12 Days of Festive Trees is officially on Day 9.
We’re making Block 2 and a bonus block – whoop! – with the freezer paper piecing method. BTW, I’m rolling out a new “day” of Festive Trees every day except Sundays. Jump in anytime!
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
I’ll be rolling out a new “day” of Festive Trees, December 6th – 19th. (I won’t send any on 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.
*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… #progress!
I changed up my Bonus Block a bit. I added a horizontal line to the foundation because there was no way I was going to get those lines to come to a point with the flannel. Also? I had a bit of trouble with the foundation… hence the hole!

Merry Modern Triangles SHOUT OUTS
If red and green aren’t your thing, here’s your inspiration…MMT Member Chris H. made her merry trees in a very modern color palette. OOOOOO. AAAAAHHHH.
Thinkin’ you want to get started now? Look at these easy-to-make cuties. Kay P. made her triangles then said she was heading back to two projects for the weekend. #progress!
The color palette possibilities are stunning and the blocks are quick quilt-me-ups for a change of pace from larger projects.
Thank you for being a part of the Make Modern Triangles program!

P.S. I’ll be back on Day 10 making the background. We’re done with our triangles!
P.S. MMT members, we’re working from the Modern Triangle Quilts book, so I’ve made each relevant page temporarily available in the downloads section. The links under the POSTS section take you to directly to the materials.
