A new year of beautiful, Creative Quilts

January 2026 Member Makes

January 2026 member makes are lighting up of community with finishes and progress. We’re feeling the buzz of starting a new project!

Make Modern Triangles members have been busy-busy…filling in their coloring pages, choosing fabrics and starting to make the first blocks in the new Dutch Summer Block of the Month program.

Watch our first Tada! Moments slideshow of the year below and see what we’ve been creating.

As a quilt designer AND teacher, my passion isn’t just designing quilts; it’s giving you the creative permission you’ve been waiting for.

Wooooo, that is what you’re seeing today!

And not only Dutch Summer (although she IS the diva quilt this year) – Aurora, Echo, and Solstice are just a few of the many quilts members can choose from.

Time for the Show!

The slideshow is a celebration of all the tada moments from deciding on fabrics to making the first blocks and finishing a beautiful quilt.

Enjoy the show!

We’re finishing up our quilt tops from this year’s Block of the Month, watching all those months of triangles finally come together… AND starting to get very excited about what comes next.

Because soon, I’ll be revealing the next Block of the Month design. 🤭

I can’t share it quite yet, but trust me—you’re going to want to see this one.

Stay tuned + follow along. The big reveal is coming SOON. ✨

If you’ve been itching for a fun little fall sewing project, this is your sign!

My FREE Candy Corn pattern is beginner-friendly, comes together quickly, and you can use it for SO much more than a quilt. Make a pillow, a table runner, a trick-or-treat bag for the kids, or A little something spooky for every room!

And if you have a Halloween Jelly Roll or Fat Quarter Bundle sitting in your stash waiting for the perfect project... this is it!

One block at a time, and next thing you know, you’ One block at a time, and next thing you know, you’ve made your very own quilt! 🪄

Whether it is your first quilt or your hundredth, you still end up with something beautiful that YOU made. 

Something that you can’t buy in a store, something that AI can’t create, and something that you should be proud of! 

And right now, some of the members sewing along with us are making their very first quilt ever. 

They just started at the beginning, followed along with us, and kept making the next block. 

And now they’re getting SO close to having an entire quilt top finished! ✨

Starting a quilt is one thing. We’ve probably all experienced the excitement of choosing the pattern, pulling the fabric, and making those first few blocks... but actually finishing your quilt is something to celebrate! 🎉

If the change in seasons suddenly has you wanting If the change in seasons suddenly has you wanting to turn off your phone, pull out a sewing machine, and make something with your own two hands... I think you’re in the right place. 🧵

Every fall I get the itch to start new projects and lock myself in my sewing room for days on end... anyone else or just me?!

And if you’ve been thinking, I need a hobby like that, quilting might be exactly what you’re looking for! As someone who has been teaching quilting for quite a long time, I always tell quilters that one of the most important things about it is just taking that time for yourself. 

It’s not always about what you’re sewing, but the hours that you took for yourself to do something that you enjoy. 

You don’t have to already know how to quilt. You don’t need a perfectly stocked sewing room. And you definitely don’t need to start with some enormous, complicated project or the fanciest equipment.

I will warn you, though... one quilt has a funny way of turning into a full-blown fabric stash, a never-ending work-in-progress pile, and very strong opinions about a perfectly matched point. 😅

If that sounds like the kind of cozy season you’re looking for, stick around. I think you’re going to like it here. 🤍

Follow along @bryanhousequilts to see what our next block-of-the-month design will be soon... 🤭

The joy that you feel every time you peel off your The joy that you feel every time you peel off your freezer paper and it comes off just like the back of a sticker... 😍

You’ll never get sick of it!!! 

We use the freezer paper piecing technique in all of my block of the month programs, and one member who is making the ‘Dutch Summer’ has loved the technique so much that she made extra blocks! She even said, “I have to say, I don’t get tired of the freezer paper peeling off the back!” 🙌

This technique saves you time, makes quilting more enjoyable, and will never get old. Comment ‘FREEZER’ if you want to give it a try. ✨
