Echo BOM progress in pictures is the funnest way to see freezer paper piecing in action. Colorful modern triangles are used in the Echo BOM and you’ll have to look closely to see how it all comes together. If you can’t wait a moment longer, click on the slideshow below to see our progress – like how quickly members learned freezer paper piecing and turned it into some pretty amazing modern triangle blocks.

Celebrating progress every step of the way

We’re celebrating finishes through photos – current projects to prior Block of the Month quilts – and monthly progress on Echo. When you see the photos you’re also seeing/not seeing the invisible progress behind it:

  • Reviewing the workbook and worksheets
  • Downloading and printing foundations and templates.
  • Playing with colors and fabrics.
  • Figuring out the yardage.
  • Asking questions.
  • Making a test block.
  • Making the first block.
  • Making the second block.

TA DA MOMENTS – ECHO BOM PROGRESS IN PICTURES

Celebrating quilty progress is how we get to the big quilty finish! Also known as a TA DA Moment, every step is worth celebrating from choosing fabrics to making the first test blocks to learning freezer paper piecing. IT ALL COUNTS!

Look at these pretty finishes…

Donnalea is recovering from hip surgery and was determined to finish her Aurora. She mixed blender batiks to make this beauty. Congratulations, Donnalea!

We’re finally getting to the good part. 😏 Just a We’re finally getting to the good part. 😏

Just a couple more batches of modern triangle blocks, and next thing you know, we will be assembling our quilt tops! 

Around this time in the block of the month programs is so exciting because you can really start to see things coming together. You have stacks of completed modern triangle blocks, and you’re getting so close to the big finish, you feel like you can really see it. ✨

You’ve spent months creating these beautiful little pieces, trusting the process, and before you know it, they stop feeling like individual blocks and start becoming a quilt.

That’s why I love the Block of the Month format so much.

Instead of trying to tackle one enormous project all at once, you keep showing up with just a few hours every single month, a few blocks at a time.

Then, one day you step back, look at everything together, and realize you’ve created something you never thought possible.

I can’t wait to see everyone’s Dutch Summer begin to come together over the next few months! Even though we’re nearing the end, you can still get access to the entire program and make this quilt yourself.

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.

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! 🪡
