Cosmos BOM Blocks Celebration and Much More!

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

7 May

CelebratinG Y’ALL!

Cosmos BOM blocks celebration for April’s member makes has begun. Seems like all of the sudden we are on Month 4 blocks. Well, here we are and jump in any time!

And drum roll…dah dah dah dah dah…

Celebrating Cosmos Member Makes including month 4 blocks.

April’s member makes review is in a shiny new format: Video (sort of)! Let us know what you think. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!

Make Modern Triangles members are fast learners in the art of celebration. Every time any one makes progress and posts a pic inside our community, the ta-da’s are flowing! You don’t have to be a member for long to get in on the progress pics action.

We’re serious about celebrating because it’s a major deal to make progress. Life is throwing stuff at us and we do what we can. And whatever that may be, we’re celebrating YOU.

The first thing you’ll notice in the video is how members play with arranging and rearranging their blocks for their close-ups. I love this soooo much!

Celebrating Cosmos BOM month 4 blocks.

Because imagination and play are bubbling and percolating inside Make Modern Triangles. We’re following along each month yet we can’t resist putting riffing on it.

Cathy C. joined her Cosmos BOM month 4 blocks in hexagon above, and all I can think is that she could make a whole quilt of these blocks! (no pressure, Cathy, none…but…it would make a gorgeous quilt amiright?)

Member FINISHES: Month 4 Cosmos and More

So while we’re celebrating Cosmos blocks, we’re also tapping our toes for every member’s make in the past month, including past BOM’s, Magic Mini Freezer Paper Piecing Workshop and Expansion Pack blocks (extra special extras in the hub for all members).

First, a few boisterous ta-da’s for some big finishes. Shayne P. has earned a reputation for her big, bold colorful versions of our BOM quilts. And this one is nooooo different.

Big Sparkler BOM splash! Congrats, Shayne!

Lillian N. lit it up big with her Sparkler BOM blocks. She’s ready to piece the rows together – you’re so close, Lillian! Bravo!

Stop by next month for more Cosmos BOM blocks for month 5 progress.

Comment ‘FREEZER’ for my free class to learn this Comment ‘FREEZER’ for my free class to learn this amazing paper piecing technique! 🌟

If your freezer paper is not sticking to your fabric, your iron might not be hot enough. 🔥

But be warned... 👇

You don’t want it to be TOO hot either. 

Use a HOT dry iron, and that should help your freezer paper stick to your fabric! 

The freezer paper needs enough heat to grip the fabric properly.

I also love using a wool pressing mat because it helps hold heat longer and makes the freezer paper stick even better.

When it comes to the quilting techniques, sometimes even a tiny adjustment can make a huge difference. 🙌

Quilters, do you ever struggle with this? Let me know in the comments and drop a ‘FREEZER’ below if you want to take my free class! 💌

For an entire week, you’ll get to learn from 30 quilting experts sharing projects that are fun, practical, beginner-friendly, and completely inspiring.

Think quilted bookmarks, fabric boxes, mini quilts, coaster sets, bags, placemats, appliqué, freezer paper piecing, and so much more.

Basically… a very good excuse to spend the week sewing! 🪡

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. 😉

Comment ‘SUMMIT’ to get your free ticket! We kick off next week! 🎟️
