Making Progress as We Please on BOM Quilts

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

Make progress to please our creative selves is fun…and sometimes, hard work. Ripping, rethinking, redoing, repeat. So much goes into making a quilt – color choices, fabrics, values and layouts – If you can’t please YOU, who can you please?! It’s all progress and progress is good, even if it feels like we’re going backwards!

You can’t just go buy fabric like this. 👀 Because You can’t just go buy fabric like this. 👀

Because we live in a time where it’s becoming harder and harder to tell what was made by a person and what was created by a computer.

This is something worth talking about. 👇

For people who aren’t quilters, it’s easy to see any beautiful quilt in today’s world and think that the pattern must have been made by AI, or that the fabrics just come that way. 

These triangles weren’t generated in seconds. The fabrics don’t just come that way. 

They were cut one piece at a time, sewn one seam at a time, pressed, trimmed, arranged, rearranged, and stitched together over hours and hours spent in the sewing room, one day at a time. 

Each and every quilt represents DAYS spent in the sewing room, taking time for myself, creating instead of scrolling on the internet. 

And that’s one reason why I fell so deeply in love with the process. Because it’s not something you can just go buy. Quilting encourages us to slow down, learn something new, take time for ourselves, and use our hands. and create something that didn’t exist before. 

Take this as your nudge to get offline and go do something that you love today. Tell me what you’re doing in the comments. ✨ ⬇️

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! 💌

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! 💌
