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

Members monthly progress is inspiring! Make Modern Triangles members are working on different block of the month quilts – whatever they fancy from the quilt library. See their colorful progress in the slideshow below.

Members Monthly Progress – Edelweiss

I released Edelweiss in June to Make Modern Triangles members as a free bonus pattern. When I get a case of the “creative itchies”, new blocks and quilts tumble out of me. Then I give them to members to play with. Then they take it the next level!

I designed Edelweiss in 2017 to promote my book, Modern Triangle Quilts. And now, I have re-released the quilt as a step-by-step block of the month project (available in my shop). It includes instructions, foundations and cutting templates as well as planning instructions and a project tracker.

New member, Marcia H. jumped in right away. Go Marcia!

    They all look fantastic! But I’m confused. How does this all go together? I see some have figured this out what goes where. Mine are all in zippy bags labeled for each month. On the month I do see there is a layout for that month. It would be helpful if each diagram built on the previous month with each month’s progress added so that the end it is all easily laid out. So this isn’t how it goes? Please don’t tell me to look at FB group. I will not join FB

      That’s a great idea Cynthia. I can incorporate that into future BOMS and updates. Thanks for the feedback.

      For now, once we get to the assembly month, you’ll see the layout diagrams. All that to say you are on the right track!

If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s exactly what I’d do: ⬇️

👉 Find a community of quilters to connect with, learn from, and grow with. People who cheer you on, celebrate your blocks, and make you want to keep going!!! 

👉 Make it easier on yourself with freezer paper piecing. This technique completely changed my life. I wanted to give up on quilting altogether at one point before I found freezer paper piecing. 

It’s not that you don’t finish quilts…

It’s that you don’t have the right support or the right process yet. 🧵✨ Comment ‘FREE’ to take my free class, learn the freezer paper piecing technique, and get invited to join an amazing community. 💕

One thing that will NEVER get old with freezer paper piecing... ⬇️

The number of blocks I can sew from just ONE foundation! 🙌

It always amazes me, and it’s one of my favorite things about the technique. 

I save so much time not having to make a new foundation for every single block, and that’s not to mention the time saved from not having to rip the paper bits of those foundations out of the seams. ✨

I’m hosting a free class where I teach you this technique, and give you a modern triangle block pattern to start sewing!

There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting wor There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting world to finish what we started. 👇

But if you’re stuck staring at a stack of unfinished blocks, and it’s keeping you out of the sewing room because it’s the last thing you want to sew right now, this is the advice that I would give you. 

It’s okay to put a project down for a while. 🫶

I’ve had projects and quilts that sat folded up for weeks… months… even longer. Projects I avoided because I got stuck, or lost momentum, or honestly just wasn’t in the mood to sew that anymore. AND IT’S OKAY! 🙌

Every single time I came back to them after putting them down for a while, I felt that spark for sewing again. I felt the inspiration that I started the project with, and I started ENJOYING it again. ✨

So if you have something that you’re avoiding sewing, let this be your permission slip to just put it down and know that you’ll come back to it when the time is right. 

Put your favorite emoji in the comments if you needed to hear this. 💕
