Modern Triangle Quilts {Blog Tour Wrap Up}

finished quilts· Modern Triangle Quilts

15 Apr

Hey guys!

I had a bit of a brain fart today. I was wondering who was posting today for the Modern Triangle Quilts Blog Tour…. Whoops, it’s me! That’s what you get when you take a nap on the couch… Ha!

Just in case you missed my first post, instead of the typical book tour blog hop, I thought it would be fun to collaborate with some of my favorite designers to make a charity bee quilt to raise money for one of my favorite charity organizations – Living Water International. So far we’ve raised about $200 for Living Water International.

 

It’s not too late to donate and enter to win this quilt. See the end of this post for all the details.

A big thank you to my lovely friends who made a block or five. 🙂 If you haven’t already, check out their posts below. Pssst! I think some of their giveaways are still open…. 😉

Blog Hop Schedule:

Sunday, April 2nd: Bryan House Quilts (you are here)
Monday April 3rd: Jessee Maloney – www.artschooldropout.net
Wednesday April 5th: Felice Regina – www.sewscatterbrained.com/
Thursday April 6th: Giuseppe Ribaudo – @giucy_giuce
Friday April 7th: Christa Watson – www.christaquilts.com/
Saturday April 8th: Christopher Thompson – thetattooedquilter.com
Monday April 10th: Karin Jordan – www.leighlaurelstudios.com/
Tuesday April 11th: Kitty Wilkin – nightquilter.com/
Wednesday April 12th: Nicole Daksiewicz – modernhandcraft.com/
Thursday April 13th: Sarah Thomas – www.sariditty.com/
Friday April 14th: Amy Sinibaldi – www.nanaCompany.typepad.com/
Saturday April 15th: Rebecca Bryan – www.bryanhousequilts.com
Here’s a few Instagram pictures shared over the past 2 weeks. I’ll be back Wednesday to share the rest of the Instagram shots. I’ll also share how much we raised and announce the winner winner and to share how much we raised!
  

 

One last chance to enter the giveaway and donate:

To raise money for Living Water International, I am “selling” the Well Wishes PDF pattern in my shop for a limited time, only during the duration of the Blog Tour (April 2 – April 18). All the proceeds from the PDF pattern will be donated to Living Water International.

With each purchase of the Well Wishes pattern, you are entered to win the Well Wishes quilt. Each copy of the pattern is $5 and you can purchase it as many times as you like. So 1 purchase equals 1 entry, 2 purchases equals 2 entries, 10 purchases equals 10 entries, and so on.

I will remove the Well Wishes PDF listing from my shop on the 18th, pick a winner, and announce the winner by the 21st. Due to shipping costs I will choose a winner from the continental United States. I’ll also post how much money we raised on the 21st!

I think that is it for now! I’ll be back Wednesday to share the rest of the Instagram shots. I’ll also share how much we raised and announce the winner winner and to share how much we raised!

Thanks!

    I would never have thought about making a B&W triangle quilt but I might now. Maybe with one red triangle.

      I know! I had the same thought. I’m quite excited about the prospect. 🙂

    After the blog hop I’m even more in love with triangles now! You really have made me think differently about what you can do with one simple shape! Congrats!

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! 💌
