Introducing Modern Triangle Quilts

finished quilts· Modern Triangle Quilts· quilt pattern

4 Jan

Hi guys!

I’m delighted to kick off the New Year by letting you know that my 2nd book, Modern Triangle Quilts: 70 Graphic Triangle Blocks – 11 Bold Samplers, with Stash Books will be shipping oh so soon! I hear the books are in the warehouse anxiously awaiting their official release. (I’m picturing boxes upon boxes of books quivering comically with anticipation! Hehe!)

You can now pre-order signed copies in my shop. From now until January 18th, receive free shipping (up to $5) by entering “FREESHIP” at checkout.

Of course, I’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks and months, but for now I want to tell you about a few things I’m particularly excited about.

These 3 quilts, from Modern Triangle Quilts, are headed to hang at QuiltCon in Savannah, Georgia. Wow! That’s just a few weeks away. From left, the quilts pictured above are: “Equilateral Sampler”, part of the equilateral section; “Stardust”, part of the Isosceles section; and “Wake”, part of the right triangle section.

This is my doggie-baby, Bruce Wayne. You may have seen him over on my Instagram feed, but I’ve never introduced him over here. Bruce Wayne is a long-haired, miniature dachshund, though we think he’s not a long-haired but rather a fluffy-haired dachshund. Ha!

Nothing new to announce here, I’m just generally excited about his furry presence. Here he is “helping” as all babies, furry and human, are wont to do. 😉

Finally, I’ll be expanding my teaching offerings by offering 2 new online workshops. The workshops, “Playful Color Theory for Quilters” and “Design Improv with Triangles“, will be self-guided courses with interactive content delivered in a combination of short videos, worksheets, readings, resources, and more. Look for these workshops to be available late February/ early March.

Here’s a few pictures from filming the video segments in early December. I and the production crew had a wonderful time working together. It’s shaping up to be a lot of fun, so stay tuned! Interested in taking one or both of these workshops? Be sure to sign up for my newsletter for the latest and greatest class updates.

Lot’s of exciting things happening in 2017! Yah!

Remember to take advantage of free shipping (up to $5) on all orders from my shop, by entering “FREESHIP” at checkout.

Thanks friends!

    Hi. Don’t know if this is a proper place to address a question on you QUILTCON classes.
    Hope you can clarify. I am enrolled in two of your classes and am a bit confused. The course description indicates you will have the book and other bonuses for sale for $25 at the class. Whereas the supply list gives us prep work to do before the classes. The book is not yet available but I am hoping soon. Should I attempt to order or find the book before the class or should I not do the prep (not an option I prefer)
    Thank you if you are able to answer.

      Hi! Yah! I’m excited to see you in class!

      Yes it is a bit confusing. Sorry about that, but I put the book price there so people know they are required to buy the book. I don’t want there to be any surprises.

      So yes, it would be best to order the book and do the prep before class. The book will be available very soon!

    Hi Rebecca! I just purchased you book Modern triangle quilts and you mention a trimming tool. I looked in the book but did not find mentioned which kind you use. I would love to own one since it seems that it facilitates the job. Can we have the name of it? Thank you, love from Italy! The book is really a gold mine!!!!!!

      Yep! Everything you need is in the back of the book in the “Pattern Pullout” pages. Thanks so much!

You can have years of experience and still watch a You can have years of experience and still watch another quilter do something and think, WAIT. You can do it like THAT?! 😅

Those little discoveries can completely change the way you sew. They can make something easier, spark an idea for a new project, or give you the confidence to finally try something you’ve been avoiding.

And that’s exactly the kind of experience we’re creating at the Quilters Paradise Summit Fall 2026.

I’ll be co-hosting this FREE online quilting event September 21–28, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn new techniques, discover beautiful projects, and connect with fellow quilters.

You might leave with the idea for your next quilt... or discover an entirely new way to make it. 🧵✨

I’ve been quilting for 15 years, and I have failed I’ve been quilting for 15 years, and I have failed PLENTY of times. 👇

I’ve made things I didn’t like. I’ve cut fabric wrong. I’ve had ideas that worked beautifully in my head and... not so beautifully once I started sewing them together.

But all of those failed have been how I learned.

I think sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to make something perfect that we forget we’re allowed to just play.

👉 You’re allowed to mess up the fabric.
👉 You’re allowed to make something ugly.
👉 You’re allowed to try something you’re not so sure about.

Because the alternative is always wondering what it would be like to make your own quilt or to try the new thing and never actually finding out. 

I’d rather take the chance, and let myself fail a few times. 

I’ve got the perfect place for you to start with a free class where you have nothing to lose other than an hour of your time and a teeny bit of fabric, but you have a whole new hobby and quilty world to gain. 

Comment ‘FREE’ to take the class. ✨

One of the things that I love most about quilting One of the things that I love most about quilting is that there is always something new to learn. 

You never stop learning, creating, making mistakes, and repeating the whole process. You’ll discover a new technique to try, a new way to use the fabric already sitting in your stash, a project that stretches you just enough to make that eventual TA-DA! feel even better.

That’s exactly why I’m so excited to be co-hosting the Quilters Paradise Summit again this September. 

It’s a completely FREE online event created to help you learn new quilting techniques, make beautiful things, and connect with other people who get just as excited about fabric as you do. 😄

Whether you’ve been quilting for years or you’re still watching from the sidelines wondering if you could actually do this, come join us September 21–28 for a week of quilting, completely free, where you’re guaranteed to learn something new.

Maybe this is your sign to stop saving quite so many quilting videos... and start making something you’ll feel proud of. 🤍

What if, even while you’re sitting in your own sew What if, even while you’re sitting in your own sewing room, you had a whole community of quilters cheering you on, celebrating your finished blocks, answering your questions, and reminding you to keep going when you’re feeling stuck?

I think that’s one of the things people are craving most right now.

You don’t want just another hobby, but a place to belong, connection to grow, and people to learn from.

People who understand why you’re excited about a new fabric pull, why matching points deserve a little happy dance, or why finally finishing a quilt is such a big accomplishment.

That’s exactly what we’ve built inside the Make Modern Triangles Club.

Quilters from all over the world, of all ages and experience levels, learning together, encouraging one another, sharing their progress, and proving that quilting is even more fun when it’s shared.

And if you’re someone who’s been wishing for an even closer sense of community... someone who would love to spend time quilting in person with other people who love this craft as much as you do... Let’s just say you might want to stick around and make sure that you are following along. 😉

I have something very special I’ve been dreaming up behind the scenes, and I can’t wait to share it with you soon. 🧵✨

#modernquilting #paperpiecing #foundationpaperpiecing #quiltingtechnique #quiltteacher
Yup, I said it. 😅 Now, before anyone panics... I’ Yup, I said it. 😅

Now, before anyone panics... I’m not saying you should give up every time something gets challenging. I’m saying that sometimes a quilt simply isn’t the right quilt for you right now.

I’ve had projects that I tucked away for a few months, only to come back to them later with fresh eyes and fall completely in love with them again.

And I’ve had a few that... well... never made it across the finish line.

And I’m okay with that!

Not every project has to become a finished quilt.

✨ Sometimes a project teaches you a new skill.
✨ Sometimes it teaches you what colors you don’t love together.
✨ Sometimes it reminds you what kinds of quilts actually light you up.

No project is ever wasted, even the ones that are never finished. 

The next quilt might just be the one you can’t wait to sit down and sew. 🪡

Tell me in the comments if you’ve ever abandoned a project before! ⬇️

You never know where one small “yes” might lead. You never know where one small “yes” might lead.

👉 One free class could become your first quilt.
👉 Your first quilt could become a hobby you genuinely look forward to at the end of a busy day or whenever you want some time to yourself.
👉 A year from now, you could have a stack of finished blocks, a beautiful quilt draped across your couch, and a skill you never imagined you’d have.

You could be looking at something you made with your own two hands and thinking, “I can’t believe I made that.” 🥹

So if you’ve been watching from the sidelines, wondering if you could do it, or contemplating if you’d even enjoy it...

My advice to you is just take the class.

Learn something new because a year from now, you might be so grateful that you did. 

You have nothing to lose, but so so much to gain.
