Members Monthly Progress

Block of the Month Program· Modern Triangle Quilts· work in progress

Members Monthly progress title graphic

Members monthly progress is inspiring! Make Modern Triangles members are working on different block of the month quilts – whatever they fancy from the quilt library. See their colorful progress in the slideshow below.

Members Monthly Progress – Edelweiss

I released Edelweiss in June to Make Modern Triangles members as a free bonus pattern. When I get a case of the “creative itchies”, new blocks and quilts tumble out of me. Then I give them to members to play with. Then they take it the next level!

I designed Edelweiss in 2017 to promote my book, Modern Triangle Quilts. And now, I have re-released the quilt as a step-by-step block of the month project (available in my shop). It includes instructions, foundations and cutting templates as well as planning instructions and a project tracker.

New member, Marcia H. jumped in right away. Go Marcia!

    They all look fantastic! But I’m confused. How does this all go together? I see some have figured this out what goes where. Mine are all in zippy bags labeled for each month. On the month I do see there is a layout for that month. It would be helpful if each diagram built on the previous month with each month’s progress added so that the end it is all easily laid out. So this isn’t how it goes? Please don’t tell me to look at FB group. I will not join FB

      That’s a great idea Cynthia. I can incorporate that into future BOMS and updates. Thanks for the feedback.

      For now, once we get to the assembly month, you’ll see the layout diagrams. All that to say you are on the right track!

You’ve been lied to, but I’m giving you the truth… You’ve been lied to, but I’m giving you the truth… ⬇️

✨ Quilting is about expression, not perfection
✨ You can break the rules and make your own! Find what works for YOU and stick to it.
✨ You’re allowed to experiment. Try bold colors, start as many projects as you want, and seam-rip your way through the learning process. 

If quilting brings you joy, it’s a success in my book! 

What’s a LIE you’d add to the list here? Drop it in the comments! 💕

This can be such a hot topic! 🔥 I started really This can be such a hot topic! 🔥

I started really thinking about modern quilting when I was writing my book, Modern Triangle Quilts. 📖

Modern Triangles became my playground. They gave me a way to create quilts that weren’t symmetrical… but still felt beautifully balanced. They helped me stretch, explore boundaries, and see design differently.

I think “modern” is really about being playful and explorative in your quilting, and knowing that you don’t have to follow the “rules” to create something that is beautiful. ✨
