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!

I was ready to give up on foundation paper piecing I was ready to give up on foundation paper piecing altogether, and then I was introduced to freezer paper piecing, and it changed my whole world forever.

Let’s talk about Freezer Paper Piecing versus traditional Paper Foundation Piecing. 👇

The techniques are similar, both methods focus on precision and ease of assembly, but with Freezer Paper Piecing, you get to reuse your templates without turning them into confetti! 🎉 MAJOR WIN!

All you have to do is trace a few copies onto freezer paper or use printable sheets for your printer. It’s versatile, efficient, and saves you tons and tons of time.

🌟 The key benefits of freezer paper piecing: 🌟

👏 Reuse & Recycle: No more wasteful piles of ripped paper templates.
👏 Easy Removal: Templates peel off effortlessly, leaving your masterpiece intact.
👏 Versatility: From intricate designs to straightforward patterns, freezer paper can be used for any foundation.

WAY MORE TIME TO QUILT! 🙌

In all of my programs, we use the Freezer Paper Piecing method, and anyone can learn this, even first-time quilters! I’ve got a NEW block-of-the-month quilt design coming soon, so follow along if you’re looking for a faster and easier way to paper-piece! ✨

I’ll go first: I can find quilt inspiration in approximately ANYTHING. I own fabric that is apparently too special to actually use, and “one more seam” has never once meant one more seam.

Your turn. 🤓 Finish the sentence in the comments 👇

A couple of weeks ago, I picked my colors for next A couple of weeks ago, I picked my colors for next year’s “Starburst” Block of the Moth, and I had to laugh at myself because even though I started with a few pretty pinks and yellows as my inspiration...

I devolved back to rainbows for my final selection. I do love a rainbow gradient! So glorious, so delicious!

Honestly, sometimes it takes me several, several, several rounds to get the colors just how I want them. 😭  But the good news is, I do have the rainbow fabric on hand!

Now I can Netflix and sew... as I work on my Starburst sample! Hooray!

Who else just can’t resist a rainbow palette??? Follow along @bryanhousequilts to be the first to see my latest “Starburst” design! 💫

SWIPE to see the big finish, my completed Peppermi SWIPE to see the big finish, my completed Peppermint Twist Dutch Summer! 🤍

The joy really is in the journey with my Block of the Month programs, where every single month you make one block, sew your whole batch, and, month by month, start to see the design come together with each new block.

And that’s why ANYONE can make this quilt! Yes, even a first-timer! 

You don’t have to sit down and make an entire quilt all at once. You make one batch of blocks, then another, and another... You learn as you go, watch your skills develop, and slowly start seeing the whole quilt come together.

And then one day, all those individual triangles you’ve been making come together and you’ve made THIS. 🥹

I absolutely love how this Peppermint Twist version of Dutch Summer turned out, and seeing all of the blocks together makes me want to do the whole thing all over again in another color palette! 😂

If you want to make your own version of the Dutch Summer, comment ‘DUTCH’ and I’ll send you the details! 💌
