Merry Modern Triangles – 12 Days of Festive Trees quilt along starts today! Day 1 is here!

This mini, modern and quite merry quilt along offers you 12 Days of Festive Trees made the modern triangle way.

This is a little triangle treat from me to you! Enjoy!

Psssst! This is completely optional and just a bit of fun, so if you find your holiday season overwhelming… feel free to skip this and come back to it later… or just watch! 

But if you’d like to play … grab some jammies and get cozy. It’s fun, easy and merry!

Officially, I’ll be sharing a reimagining of the “Isosceles Sampler” on page 101 of Modern Triangle Quilts. But, hey… the world is your oyster so we’ll be sharing LOADS of creative member makes!

Make Modern Triangles members have access to the coloring page, instructions and downloads here.

We’re working from the Modern Triangle Quilts book. I’ve made each relevant page temporarily available in the downloads section.

How to add your own twist

I’ve designed a Merry Modern Triangles wall hanging, however, you can always take my designs in a new direction!  You could… 

  • Make as little as one triangle to create something like a mug rug
  • Make a handful of triangles to create placemats
  • Make a handful to create a table runner
  • Make the full wall hanging
  • Or…? Go big and add your own twist design to the project.

On Day 9, I’ll have a new isosceles design for you. However, this would be a great opportunity to add in a triangle of your own design!

Merry Modern Triangles Design options

There’s plenty of room for you to add your own touch! Add a tree trunk or a star if you’d like. Fill in the neutral triangles with more modern triangles… Have a play!

Dayna N. created a unique layout shaped as a tree in brown and red fabrics.

Make Modern Triangles members, you can play along or watch along and come back to this later.  Visit this post for ALL the details and a fun little video I put together!

It was such a delight to put that video together. I’m probably overselling it, but it was fun! 

Let me know what you think! And let’s have a little holiday fun!

    Is there any way to do the christmas tree without going on instagram? I’m too old to get involved with new computer stuff that only leads to needing more security

If you have been quilting for a while now, you kno If you have been quilting for a while now, you know the feeling.

Of course you still love quilting. But sometimes you just feel stuck in a creative rut.

You have plenty of fabric, plenty of patterns, plenty of pretty things saved that you’d love to make someday, and definitely plenty of WIPs. 😅

But letaly when you walk into your sewing room, you wonder what to make, and you try to find what will get you the most excited to sew. 

And if you’re going through this now, sometimes you just need a good dose of fresh inspiration, which is exactly what I’m hoping you’ll find at the Fall Quilters Paradise Summit.

I hope you’ll find a technique you’ve never tried, a teacher who shows you a completely different way to do something, a project that makes you immediately start digging through your stash thinking, Ooooh... what if I used THIS?!

From September 21–28, we’re bringing together 40+ quilting masterclasses covering piecing, precision, scraps, free-motion quilting, color, appliqué, improv, finishing, creative design and SO much more.

I’m co-hosting again AND teaching The BEST Way to Foundation Piece Featuring Modern Triangle 60#quiltingforbeginners 🤓🧵

And you can join the whole thing online for FREE.

If your quilting mojo has been missing lately, come find it with us. The summit starts in one week! Comment ‘SUMMIT,’ and I’ll send you the details to get your ticket. 🎟️

If foundation piecing usually ends with you and yo If foundation piecing usually ends with you and your seam ripper having a little too much quality time together... you’ll love what I am teaching for the Quilter’s Paradise Fall Summit! 😅

There are some quilting techniques that look SO good when they’re finished... but can feel unnecessarily frustrating while you’re actually making them.

Foundation piecing doesn’t have to be one of those techniques, and i’m going to teach you a better way. I’ll walk you through the method I use to make these beautiful, precise modern triangle blocks without all the frustration.

We’ll make Modern Triangle #60 together, and you’ll get to see exactly how I approach the process from start to finish.

Whether foundation piecing has intimidated you, frustrated you in the past, or you’re an experienced quilter who’s simply curious to see another way to do it, I would LOVE to have you join me.

The Quilter’s Paradise Summit is a week of quilting techniques and playtime, that you can attend for FREE. 

Come take my class, tune into some of the other sessions, make a modern triangle block with me, and see if you discover your new favorite way to foundation piece.

Comment ‘SUMMIT’ to get your free ticket, and I’ll see you there!
