Aurora BOM! Tada!

Block of the Month Program· quilt along· Sewing with Triangles· Uncategorized

21 Nov

Aurora BOM is the 2024 quilt-a-long program for Make Modern Triangles members.

Auror-rah! Auror-rah!

Aurora is launched and I’m so excited that YOU are excited!

I love rainbow palettes. They’ve been a big part of my quilting journey and growing as a creative.

PLANNING AurORA IS PROGRESS

December 1 starts Planning Month for 2024. The planning workbook, yardage requirements and more is dropped into the Club on December 1. Truly everything you need and want to plan and make a modern triangle quilt, including a project tracker and video tutes.

I’m inspired to start the sewing part, and also know that the Planning Month sets us up for successful triangle quilting with freezer paper piecing.

Planning builds are confidence when staring down a modern triangle quilt with LOTS OF TRIANGLES. That happens to look like a Lone Star quilt (look very closely) but goes together without y-seams!

NO Y-seams. None.

When members start posting coloring pages and fabric pulls, it’s a big inspiration boost for EVERYONE;

You’ve got this.

You can do it.

We’re better together.

A modern triangle quilt is soooo doable a step at a time with each other.

When you know where you’re going – even when you don’t have all of the skills yet – every step is progress. When I see someone else do something, I’m motivated to jump in to the next step.

Four COLORWAYS AND COUNTING…

I had so much fun creating the colorways. You’ve seen Rainbow, now meet the rest:

Aurora Rainbow Palette

Rainblow Aurora color palette in orange, magenta, bright pink, lime, teal yellow and brown triangle blocks. Black and white.
Rainbow color palette with background

SPRING AURORA BOM

MULTI AURORA BOM

Multi Aurora color palette in orange, magenta, bright pink, lime, teal yellow and brown triangle blocks. Black and white background blocks.

SUnset AURORA BOM

Sunset Aurora color palette in orange, magenta, violet, yellow and blue triangle blocks

AUTUMN AURORA BOM

Autumn and Sunset have the same colors in the spokes with different backgrounds.

Aurora Rainbow palette with white background

Rainbow – White Background

Now, it’s your turn for a big ta-da! Use a ready-to-go palette or create your own on the coloring pages. Have fun!

Freezer Paper Piecing Tip number ONE! ⬇️ We’re st Freezer Paper Piecing Tip number ONE! ⬇️

We’re starting off strong with one of my absolute favorite things about the freezer paper piecing technique. 

And it’s that you can reuse your foundations!! I’ve had a foundation that I used 20 or more times... 😅

I know it doesn’t seem possible, but this is proof that it is! 

Why make a new foundation for every single block when you just reuse ONE for them all? 

That’s the magic of freezer paper piecing. ✨

Follow along for the rest of my tips that make paper piecing way easier, and comment ‘FREE’ if you want to sign up for my free class! 💌

You know what I think a lot of quilters need more You know what I think a lot of quilters need more of? 👇

Small wins. 🧵✨

Not every project has to be a king-sized quilt that takes six months to finish. Sometimes the most joyful sewing happens when you sit down, make something fun in an afternoon, and actually get to enjoy the “ta-da!” moment quickly.

That’s exactly why I’m so excited to be co-hosting the Fast-N-Easy Quilters Paradise Summit this month.

We’ve gathered 30 incredible quilting teachers to share projects that are creative, approachable, and genuinely doable. Think: 

👉 Scrappy projects
👉 Gift-able makes
👉 Home décor
👉 Bags
👉 Coasters
👉 Mini quilts
👉 Freezer paper piecing

And so many techniques you can immediately use in your own sewing room. It’s free, it’s online, and it’s packed with inspiration.

It’s like a week-long quilting retreat without leaving your house. 😉

Comment ‘SUMMIT’ to get your free ticket! We kick off next week! 🎟️

One of my latest quilts that I now have back from One of my latest quilts that I now have back from the quilter! 😍

It’s so hard to pick a favorite when you love them all, and they are so unique, but if I HAD to choose, this one would be pretty high on my favorites list! 🤭

If you’ve been around for a while, you know that I am a sucker for a good rainbow color palette, and the white background really makes the colors pop. 🌈

The Aurora has also been one of our most made quilts inside the Make Modern Triangles Club, so I think it’s safe to say that this is a member favorite, too. 

Inside my block of the month programs, we go step-by-step with PDFs and video tutorials, so you don’t have to worry about missing a thing. 

And yes, even a brand-new quilter can follow along and make this quilt! If you want to make your very own Aurora, comment ‘AURORA’ below and I’ll send you the details! 💌

I can’t believe I’m even saying this. 🫣 I have ha I can’t believe I’m even saying this. 🫣

I have had messages from people claiming that my designs and quilts are AI-generated. 

In a world full of AI these days, I get that we have to be skeptical and diligent. But we can also credit and appreciate artists and creators who do amazing work. 

It’s not fair to artists and creators to simply assume that something is AI-generated. I spend countless hours on each of my designs, and it takes months of days spent in the sewing room in my little creative cave to make one of the beautiful, handmade quilts! And beyond all of that, I truly enjoy the process and the journey of it all. 

That’s just not something that AI could do. 

So I’m here to assure you that none of my patterns or programs are AI-generated, and never will be. 

And if you want to join a community quilters that sew together every single month, I invite you to join us in inside the Make Modern Triangles Club and meet all of the amazing quilters inside. 

We’re just getting ready to start a brand new block of the month, and i’m really, really excited about this one. ✨

I’ve been teaching quilting for over a decade, and I’ve been teaching quilting for over a decade, and I’ll still remember the first time that I learned this. 👇

It completely changed my quilty life, and I’ve never looked back! 

At one point early on in my quilting days, I almost gave it up altogether because I was so frustrated with ripping tiny bits of paper out of my seams. 

My fingers hurt, it took forever, and I was over it! I still have unfinished blocks that have paper on them from those days... 😅

And then someone taught me what I have now taught thousands of other quilters, and I fell back in love with it all over again. 

You can try for yourself by taking my free class and see how you like it!

I’ll die on this hill... 👇 Quilting is not just a I’ll die on this hill... 👇

Quilting is not just about making something beautiful. 

It’s about making time for yourself. 

And that act of making time for yourself is something that you have to do. It’s essential. And above all, you deserve it! 👏

No one is going to make the time for you. You have to prioritize time for yourself to play and explore your creativity. 

What’s the quilting hill that you will die on? Share in the comments! ⬇️
