Echo BOM Month 3 Blocks…Blocks…Blocks!

Block of the Month Program· finished quilts· work in progress

2 Apr

Echo BOM Month 3 blocks are bouncing off the sewing room walls and into our community posts. We gathered up the photos so you can see all the quilts, blocks and works in progress in the slideshow below. Sqeeeeeeee to the inth degree!

Month 3 is like a Wednesday in the work week. By this time in the BOM, you’re feeling less like a newbie and more like a piecing pro. You are officially over the hump and you’ve got this!

SOLSTICE TA DA MOments

We’ve got quilt finishes, top finishes and blocks…blocks…blocks.

First, let’s give out some hollers to our quilt finishers! Solstice BOM has been a popular make among members, as evidenced by the slew of finishes this month.

Heather O. had other plans for her quilt but her husband liked it so much that it’s staying. She used the Summer colorway for her Solstice. Look closely at the wavy spiral quilting on the back – so beautifully done. Congratulations on your big TA DA MOMENT Heather!

Patricia H. made her quilt for her son. She said that she enjoyed learning new techniques and is looking forward to making another one. Patricia used a one-color palette and straight line quilting to emphasize the piecing. Stunning!

It’s your big TA DA MOMENT, Patricia! Always one to cheer others on in the group, we’re celebrating you today. Congratulations!

Shanda D. finished her Solstice with the spicy colorway with magenta, coral, and pinks. Fantastic finish! Check out the pantograph quilting – a beautiful choice! It’s your BIG TA DA MOMENT, Shanda and you did it! Congratulations!

AuRORA and STARGAZER FINISHES

Kathleen P. used straight line quilting that emphasized the diagonal directions for a beautiful effect. She mastered curved piecing in Month 8 (to her relief!) and posted “FINALLY FINISHED”. Congratulations on your big TA DA MOMENT, Kathleen! You did it!

Lori B. made Stargazer her own by using an analogous color palette with pink, red and purple. You did it and it’s beautiful! Congratulations, Lori!

But one thing I do know is that it’s never been just quilting for many of us. 🫶

We support each other. We share our progress. And we celebrate every single “ta-da!” moment right along with you. 🎉

My work-in-progress pile is getting to the point w My work-in-progress pile is getting to the point where I am not allowing myself to start anything new until I finish something else. 😅

I love starting things. I love the fabric pull and the “ooh what if…” energy and that first seam where everything still feels full of possibility.

But lately, I’ve been looking at my stack of half-done quilts and realizing… I don’t actually want more beginnings. I want more endings.

I want that moment when the blocks finally hit the design wall, and the entire pattern starts to come to life. When I step back and think, “Wow. I made that!” 

And I have a feeling a few of you know exactly what I mean. 🧵✨

Tell me… are you a serial starter, or are you in your “let’s finish what we began” era too?

The best way to learn is to just start. 👇 So many The best way to learn is to just start. 👇

So many people think things like...

“That’s way too detailed.” 
“I could never make that.”
“I don’t have time for that.”
“I’m not creative enough.”

And every single year, we have complete beginners and first-time quilters inside the Make Modern Triangles Club that make their very own quilt from start to finish. 🪄

All of my programs are accessible for brand-new quilters to learn and sew along, so that they end up with something beautiful that they made themselves. 

And the best part, is that you’re not alone. You’ll be learning and sewing alongside a community of ALL different skill-levels, and you’ll have the entire group to support you along the way. 🫶

so if you’re someone who has been thinking about quilting but you think you couldn’t do it, or it looks too hard, I challenge you to just start. You never know what you might create.

We all have that one technique we avoid. For me... We all have that one technique we avoid. For me... It’s needle turn appliqué! 🤭

Maybe it’s curved piecing... or resizing a block because the math (duh!). Or maybe it’s that pile of scraps that continues to go untouched because you’re afraid you might waste them. 👀

What if you could conquer all of that in just one week?

The Quilters Paradise Summit (QP26) is coming up March 9-16, and I am so excited to be a part of it! It is the biggest online event for quilters who want to level up their creative journey.

During the online summit, you’ll learn how to: 

✅ Resize ANY quilt block using a simple grid method (no more guessing!).
✅ Conquer curves using the “boob and bra” analogy (yes, really!) for perfect Drunkard’s Paths.
✅ Master Serger Quilting to piece, bind, and finish quilts faster.
✅ Design custom quilt labels using free tools like Canva.
✅ Transform scraps into “bricks,” “crumbs,” and stunning art pieces.

And the best part? It’s all coming to you FREE during the summit! 🎟️

I’ll be teaching alongside 25+ incredible experts in the quilting industry. Comment “SUMMIT” to reserve your spot for free! ✨
