Colorful Member Makes Take Shape

Block of the Month Program· Uncategorized

Member Makes title graphic

Colorful member makes are taking shape in our Aurora Block of the Month program. I’m excited to show you all the members’ versions busting out the color!

And not just color. Finishes, too!

Colorful Finishes

Maureen P.’s Solstice BOM started with colorful inspiration. Then, she translated the palette onto her coloring page.

Colorful member makes start with color inspiration like printed fabrics
Coloring pages help members create an original color palette for their colorful member makes

Playing with a set of finished blocks is a reward in itself.

And the big TA DA finish! Congrations, Maureen! A sensational Solstice!

A Confidence-Building finish

Kristie M. started with a “starter” project, Magic Mini Freezer Paper Piecing. Confidence-builder and quick TA DA maker, the Magic Mini never disappoints. Congratulations, Kristie!

Oh, gosh, there’s more! Here are are just a few of the Aurora BOM quilts progress in the group. Watch the slideshow below for more member makes.

Happy Quilting!

P.S. Did you notice how I use radial symmetrical designs in the Make Modern Triangles BOM quilts? They look complex but nooooo…I use no y-seam construction methods and freezer paper piecing. Super fancy-looking without the fancy footwork.

This is what makes my programs accessible for even This is what makes my programs accessible for even brand-new quilters: ⬇️

👉 They’re built with Modern Triangles.
Think of them like quilty puzzle pieces. One small shape at a time. Each month you make a set of triangles, and by the end of the year… you’ll suddenly have a quilt that feels like a masterpiece.

👉 You only ever need to focus on the next step.
Not the whole quilt, not the finishing, not how it will look months from now.
Just one block (or triangle!) at a time.

👉 YOU don’t have to do the hard thinking because I’ve already done that for you.
No math, no stress, no guesswork, just clear instructions, support when you need it, and joyful sewing!

Your job is simply to create, enjoy, experiment, and celebrate the “Ta-Da!” moments along the way.

Whether you’ve made 50 quilts or zero, you belong here, and you’ll finish with something you’re really proud of.

Comment “DUTCH” if you want to make this beautiful modern triangle quilt! 💌

I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I probab I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I probably would have saved hundreds of hours if I knew the magic of freezer paper piecing when I first started quilting. 😅

There was a time when I almost gave up quilting altogether because I HATED paper piecing so much, and it took me so long. 

Having to sew through your foundations, spend countless hours ripping paper from the seams, having sore fingers, and not even wanting to do it anymore... That’s where I was with the whole paper piecing thing. Ready to just throw in the towel. 

And then a friend introduced me to Freezer Paper Piecing, and it changed my life forever. I have never looked back, and now I LOVE paper piecing. 🙌

Instead of tearing paper out of every seam, I could just peel it off… and use it again... and again... and again! 

It was like magic. And it still feels like magic every time I do it! 🪄

Comment “FREEZER” if you want to take my free class and experience the magic yourself. 💕

All these triangles come together to make one STUN All these triangles come together to make one STUNNING quilt! 🤩

The Echo was such a fun, unique design that was unlike anything I had made with triangles yet.

It felt bold and different, yet symmetrical. ✨

And of course, made with modern traingles blocks, some were simple, and some were challenging.

But the whole process from start to finish is so much fun! If you want to learn as you go and make your own version of the Echo, comment ‘ECHO’ and I’ll send you the details to my Block of the Month program, where you get ALL the tools, tutorials, and resources to make this quilt! 🫶

All you have to do is pick your color plan, shop your fabric stash, and get ready to start sewing! 🪡

We’ve already got two months of sewing in for the We’ve already got two months of sewing in for the Alchemy block of the month program. ✨

This quilt is already coming together so nicely! 

You might be wondering, “What is a block of the month program?” 🧐

It’s basically making a quilt one month and one block at a time! Each new month, you will get instructions and tutorials on how to sew the block for that month. 

You’ll sew your batch of blocks and wait for the next block the following month! It breaks the projects up into smaller, more approachable pieces so that you actually finish the quilts that you start. 

ALL of my programs are structured this way, and we even have a private community of quilters that you can join, sew with, and get to know along the way. 

These are the first two blocks of our Alchemy quilt! Comment ‘ALCHEMY’ if you want to make this with us! 💫
