Members Monthly Progress

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

Members Monthly progress title graphic

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!

Freezer Paper Piecing Tip number ONE! ⬇️ We’re st Freezer Paper Piecing Tip number ONE! ⬇️

We’re starting off strong with one of my absolute favorite things about the freezer paper piecing technique. 

And it’s that you can reuse your foundations!! I’ve had a foundation that I used 20 or more times... 😅

I know it doesn’t seem possible, but this is proof that it is! 

Why make a new foundation for every single block when you just reuse ONE for them all? 

That’s the magic of freezer paper piecing. ✨

Follow along for the rest of my tips that make paper piecing way easier, and comment ‘FREE’ if you want to sign up for my free class! 💌

You know what I think a lot of quilters need more You know what I think a lot of quilters need more of? 👇

Small wins. 🧵✨

Not every project has to be a king-sized quilt that takes six months to finish. Sometimes the most joyful sewing happens when you sit down, make something fun in an afternoon, and actually get to enjoy the “ta-da!” moment quickly.

That’s exactly why I’m so excited to be co-hosting the Fast-N-Easy Quilters Paradise Summit this month.

We’ve gathered 30 incredible quilting teachers to share projects that are creative, approachable, and genuinely doable. Think: 

👉 Scrappy projects
👉 Gift-able makes
👉 Home décor
👉 Bags
👉 Coasters
👉 Mini quilts
👉 Freezer paper piecing

And so many techniques you can immediately use in your own sewing room. It’s free, it’s online, and it’s packed with inspiration.

It’s like a week-long quilting retreat without leaving your house. 😉

One of my latest quilts that I now have back from One of my latest quilts that I now have back from the quilter! 😍

It’s so hard to pick a favorite when you love them all, and they are so unique, but if I HAD to choose, this one would be pretty high on my favorites list! 🤭

If you’ve been around for a while, you know that I am a sucker for a good rainbow color palette, and the white background really makes the colors pop. 🌈

The Aurora has also been one of our most made quilts inside the Make Modern Triangles Club, so I think it’s safe to say that this is a member favorite, too. 

Inside my block of the month programs, we go step-by-step with PDFs and video tutorials, so you don’t have to worry about missing a thing. 

And yes, even a brand-new quilter can follow along and make this quilt! If you want to make your very own Aurora, comment ‘AURORA’ below and I’ll send you the details! 💌

I can’t believe I’m even saying this. 🫣 I have ha I can’t believe I’m even saying this. 🫣

I have had messages from people claiming that my designs and quilts are AI-generated. 

In a world full of AI these days, I get that we have to be skeptical and diligent. But we can also credit and appreciate artists and creators who do amazing work. 

It’s not fair to artists and creators to simply assume that something is AI-generated. I spend countless hours on each of my designs, and it takes months of days spent in the sewing room in my little creative cave to make one of the beautiful, handmade quilts! And beyond all of that, I truly enjoy the process and the journey of it all. 

That’s just not something that AI could do. 

So I’m here to assure you that none of my patterns or programs are AI-generated, and never will be. 

And if you want to join a community quilters that sew together every single month, I invite you to join us in inside the Make Modern Triangles Club and meet all of the amazing quilters inside. 

We’re just getting ready to start a brand new block of the month, and i’m really, really excited about this one. ✨

I’ve been teaching quilting for over a decade, and I’ve been teaching quilting for over a decade, and I’ll still remember the first time that I learned this. 👇

It completely changed my quilty life, and I’ve never looked back! 

At one point early on in my quilting days, I almost gave it up altogether because I was so frustrated with ripping tiny bits of paper out of my seams. 

My fingers hurt, it took forever, and I was over it! I still have unfinished blocks that have paper on them from those days... 😅

And then someone taught me what I have now taught thousands of other quilters, and I fell back in love with it all over again. 

You can try for yourself by taking my free class and see how you like it!

I’ll die on this hill... 👇 Quilting is not just a I’ll die on this hill... 👇

Quilting is not just about making something beautiful. 

It’s about making time for yourself. 

And that act of making time for yourself is something that you have to do. It’s essential. And above all, you deserve it! 👏

No one is going to make the time for you. You have to prioritize time for yourself to play and explore your creativity. 

What’s the quilting hill that you will die on? Share in the comments! ⬇️
