We Heart Triangles!

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

1 Mar

We heart triangles every day in Make Modern Triangles Club. It’s our thing.

CAN you fall in love with a triangle block? Yup. Like all the time.

We heart triangles

Make Modern Triangle members have been falling in love with triangle blocks and freezer paper piecing during February. A month of loooooove and one closer relationship with her seam ripper. I’ll let our members explain below.

In this post I’m sharing some of our members’ makes during February in a slideshow below. Many members are working on the new Aurora BOM while others are fine tuning their freezer paper piecing skills on the Magic Mini quilt. And other members have chosen one of the BOM quilts available in the MMT Club. So you’re going to see a wide variety of works in progress and some fabulous finishes!

After finishing her Magic Mini, Cindy N. posted:

Cindy N. shares how she we heart triangles with freezer paper piecing

“I finished my Magic Mini this afternoon. This if my first freezer paper quilt! I learned so much, but the biggest challenge was the placement of the colors. What a great technique! I love it! My sister is a tie dye freak…guess who this mini is for.“

Mary C. professed her love:

“Excitement is rising! Just finished Month 7 blocks for my Stargazer quilt and now I just have to cut the Month 8 setting triangles and I can start assembly. The more I do the FPP the more I love it!“

Tracy L. developed a closer relationship with her seam ripper:

“I finally got my month 2 pieces done! My chorus of Heavenly Angels moment came when I realized that the freezer paper was reversed from what I needed to get my blocks correct! Let’s just say I have a VERY CLOSE relationship with my ripper!“

Learning new things is fun and stretches our skills. Working together is better and we’re much better together in our Make Modern Triangles community. Our members’ experience and enthusiasm is LOVE-ly!

Some members say “I love you” with a quilt. Julie W. made the “i Heart Triangles” quilt in her own color palette. Beautiful quilt, Julie W.!

“First corners finished! I love freezer paper piecing!”

Kathy F. posted with her photo:

“I made this wallhanging inspired by Rebecca’s i Heart Triangles pattern. The blocks are far from perfect but I didn’t want to waste them. I have learned so much about freezer paper piecing from Rebecca and it’s fun to play with different layouts. I am hooked!“

WE Heart Triangles in BIG TA DA MOMENTS!

Erin A., and Bobbi Lu and many more ta-da’d their finished quilt tops! Bobbi Lu’s made a Solstice quilt with an original color palette – she’s a beauty! Congratulations, Bobbi Lu!

    This looks so interesting! I have the classes you sent but not had time to view them yet. I figured this would be great for crazy quilt patterns.

The satisfaction of freezer paper piecing NEVER ge The satisfaction of freezer paper piecing NEVER gets old. 🙌

We use this technique in ALL of my programs, and one member who is making the current ‘Dutch Summer’ block of the month said, “I have to say, I don’t get tired of the freezer paper just peeling off the back!” 

And after 15 years, I’m still not sick of it either! 😉

If you have been quilting for a while now, you kno If you have been quilting for a while now, you know the feeling.

Of course you still love quilting. But sometimes you just feel stuck in a creative rut.

You have plenty of fabric, plenty of patterns, plenty of pretty things saved that you’d love to make someday, and definitely plenty of WIPs. 😅

But letaly when you walk into your sewing room, you wonder what to make, and you try to find what will get you the most excited to sew. 

And if you’re going through this now, sometimes you just need a good dose of fresh inspiration, which is exactly what I’m hoping you’ll find at the Fall Quilters Paradise Summit.

I hope you’ll find a technique you’ve never tried, a teacher who shows you a completely different way to do something, a project that makes you immediately start digging through your stash thinking, Ooooh... what if I used THIS?!

From September 21–28, we’re bringing together 40+ quilting masterclasses covering piecing, precision, scraps, free-motion quilting, color, appliqué, improv, finishing, creative design and SO much more.

I’m co-hosting again AND teaching The BEST Way to Foundation Piece Featuring Modern Triangle 60#quiltingforbeginners 🤓🧵

And you can join the whole thing online for FREE.

If your quilting mojo has been missing lately, come find it with us. The summit starts in one week! Comment ‘SUMMIT,’ and I’ll send you the details to get your ticket. 🎟️

If foundation piecing usually ends with you and yo If foundation piecing usually ends with you and your seam ripper having a little too much quality time together... you’ll love what I am teaching for the Quilter’s Paradise Fall Summit! 😅

There are some quilting techniques that look SO good when they’re finished... but can feel unnecessarily frustrating while you’re actually making them.

Foundation piecing doesn’t have to be one of those techniques, and i’m going to teach you a better way. I’ll walk you through the method I use to make these beautiful, precise modern triangle blocks without all the frustration.

We’ll make Modern Triangle #60 together, and you’ll get to see exactly how I approach the process from start to finish.

Whether foundation piecing has intimidated you, frustrated you in the past, or you’re an experienced quilter who’s simply curious to see another way to do it, I would LOVE to have you join me.

The Quilter’s Paradise Summit is a week of quilting techniques and playtime, that you can attend for FREE. 

Come take my class, tune into some of the other sessions, make a modern triangle block with me, and see if you discover your new favorite way to foundation piece.

Comment ‘SUMMIT’ to get your free ticket, and I’ll see you there!

If you are a beginner quilter and you’re wondering If you are a beginner quilter and you’re wondering what kind of sewing machine to get, here’s what I recommend... 👇

@janomeamerica and @berninausa make great sewing machines for beginners. I personally use a Janome, and I love it, but the one thing that I would tell every beginner quilter to do is find a machine that has a local dealer so that you have somewhere you can get it serviced. 

Typically, you can go to your dealer and try out different machines to find the right one for you. You don’t want just any machine that everyone recommends on the internet. You want the right one for you and what you are using it for. 🪡

Just like you wouldn’t buy a car without driving it, you shouldn’t invest in a sewing machine that you are not comfortable with and don’t know how to use. 

Share what kind of sewing machine you are using and why you love it in the comments!!! 💬
