Modern Triangle Member Makes

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

4 Aug

Modern Triangle Member Makes in July are lighting up the Triangle Chatter community.

Modern triangles made by our members are fantastic versions of my little ol’ triangles. I supply preset colorways and ideas and they RUN WITH IT! (put the scissors DOWN FIRST…please.)

Cosmos is the current BOM but not the only block at the block party. hehe.

July 2023 member makes for make modern triangles club

New members starting now get to be choosy – many start with previous block of the month projects or single triangle blocks and just as many jump into our current Cosmos BOM. Wherever they are, it’s the right starting place instead of feeling left behind.

Onward! Progress is the goal!

Member Makes – BLOCK 47

Test driving Block 47 is always popular because when you make one, you see – ah ha – the potential for fabrics and quilts!

Block 47 is also known as Scrappy Whirligig – a free class and pattern for your own test drive.

Faye T., a Make Modern Triangles member, made one and then a bunch more. They are so pretty.

Showing off our members’ progress is the bestes’ fun. Below, you’ll see the same design in many colorful versions. And some are design-tweaked, too. Full creative license here!

Michele M. kept going with rainbow blocks and here’s her quilt top ta-done! And ta-da!

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.

Underestimate progress? Not us.

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 looks like, we’re just so proud ourselves.

MAKING MODERN TRIANGLES – MEMBERS’ BIG FINISHES

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 and recent workshops like the Magic Mini Freezer Paper Piecing Workshop.

First, sewing ovations for big finishes!

Julie B. had to finish her Cosmos for trip to gift to her son. Isn’t she pretty? Congrations!

Member Julie B. finished Cosmos quilt.
Julie B.’s finished Cosmos. Ta-da!

Margaret S. and finished her Magic Mini top and learned freezer paper piecing. Congratulations!

If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s exactly what I’d do: ⬇️

👉 Find a community of quilters to connect with, learn from, and grow with. People who cheer you on, celebrate your blocks, and make you want to keep going!!! 

👉 Make it easier on yourself with freezer paper piecing. This technique completely changed my life. I wanted to give up on quilting altogether at one point before I found freezer paper piecing. 

It’s not that you don’t finish quilts…

It’s that you don’t have the right support or the right process yet. 🧵✨ Comment ‘FREE’ to take my free class, learn the freezer paper piecing technique, and get invited to join an amazing community. 💕

One thing that will NEVER get old with freezer paper piecing... ⬇️

The number of blocks I can sew from just ONE foundation! 🙌

It always amazes me, and it’s one of my favorite things about the technique. 

I save so much time not having to make a new foundation for every single block, and that’s not to mention the time saved from not having to rip the paper bits of those foundations out of the seams. ✨

I’m hosting a free class where I teach you this technique, and give you a modern triangle block pattern to start sewing!

There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting wor There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting world to finish what we started. 👇

But if you’re stuck staring at a stack of unfinished blocks, and it’s keeping you out of the sewing room because it’s the last thing you want to sew right now, this is the advice that I would give you. 

It’s okay to put a project down for a while. 🫶

I’ve had projects and quilts that sat folded up for weeks… months… even longer. Projects I avoided because I got stuck, or lost momentum, or honestly just wasn’t in the mood to sew that anymore. AND IT’S OKAY! 🙌

Every single time I came back to them after putting them down for a while, I felt that spark for sewing again. I felt the inspiration that I started the project with, and I started ENJOYING it again. ✨

So if you have something that you’re avoiding sewing, let this be your permission slip to just put it down and know that you’ll come back to it when the time is right. 

Put your favorite emoji in the comments if you needed to hear this. 💕
