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!

Rebecca

After months of sewing triangle blocks together... After months of sewing triangle blocks together... ⬇️

There’s no feeling like getting to put them on your design wall one by one and watch the whole pattern come to life! 🪄

What used to be a stack of triangles suddenly becomes a beautiful quilt! 

You stand back to put that last block on the design wall, and sometimes there’s a moment where you think, “wait… I made this?!” 🥹

This stage is also one of my favorites because it reminds me why I love quilting so much. You’ve done the steady work. You’ve trusted the process. And now you get to play, arranging blocks, stepping back, seeing new possibilities with every small adjustment.

If you’re in this phase right now, soak it in. And if you’re currently sewing blocks and blocks of triangles... get excited becuase this time if coming for you and it will be here before you know it! 

If you want to make the Echo quilt, comment “ECHO” and I’l send you the details. 💕

WOULD YOU RATHER... ⬇️ Bind a quilt or vacuum? 🧐 WOULD YOU RATHER... ⬇️

Bind a quilt or vacuum? 🧐

Apparently, on this day I chose vacuum. 😂

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE to sew. 

But sometimes, when you have that one thing to sew that isn’t a part of quilting that gets you super excited, you find everything else to do instead! 

And on this day, it was vacuuming all the rugs in my sewing room. 

So if you’ve ever felt like you’d rather do pit chores over sewing chores, you’re not alone! Tell me in the comments, would you rather bind a quilt or vacuum? 👇

I hear things like these all the time... ⬇️

And honestly, I get it.

Quilting isn’t the problem. The way we’re taught to approach it is.

Quilting doesn’t have to mean:

❌ Marathon sewing sessions
❌ Perfectly matching everything
❌ Fancy tools or silly rules
❌ Finishing an entire quilt before trying something new

It can mean:

✨ Small, doable steps
✨ Using what you already have
✨ Letting the design do the thinking
✨ Finding joy in the process (not just the finish)

If quilting has ever felt “too much,” I promise, there’s another way.

And it’s a whole lot more fun!

Comment “CLUB” if you’re curious to try something new. 👇

WARNING: This might steal your heart. 🤭 I made th WARNING: This might steal your heart. 🤭

I made this cutie-patootie, heart-shaped modern triangle as a little love note to quilters who want to try something new without committing to a whole quilt.

It’s fast, playful, and stash-friendly. It’s designed to give you that magical “TA-DA!” moment almost immediately. ✨

This free pattern is your invitation to:

💕 Play with modern triangles
💕 Use what you already have in your stash
💕 Create something joyful just because
💕 See how one simple shape can unlock endless design possibilities

In this freebie, you get not just one, but TWO different heart designs, because I KNOW quilters like to have options!

If you’ve ever been curious about modern quilting, or just want a cozy Valentine’s sewing project, this one’s for you.

Grab the FREE heart triangle and start stitching today. Comment “HEART” and I’ll send it your way! 💌
