I can't seem to stop myself. This Moda BlockHeads 3 quilt is never going to be done. I keep thinking I need to add more "cute" blocks to it. You have to admit, that fat blue bee is pretty darn adorable.
So naturally I had to give him a house. Isn't that little bee skep too much? Both the bee and the bee hive and the dahlia flower came from Lori Holt's Vintage Farmhouse 2 book. If you ever want "cute" blocks, she is the source.
One of the reasons I have been dragging this project out is because I have run out of my main background fabric. That is the fabric shown in the bee hive/heart block above. My friend Tracey is sending me a fat quarter, but it's coming from Canada on a slow boat. Does anyone have any amount of that cream-colored print? It is from 3 Sisters "Snowberry" collection. If anyone has some they would like to sell, please let me know. SKU is 44145 11.
Hope you had a good weekend. Our weather has suddenly turned gorgeous and we had our windows and doors open constantly. I think it got up to 74. We have new neighbors with little kids and it has been so nice to hear their happy voices while they play outside in the sunshine.
And woo hoo, it is spring break for Eva, so I will have a couple of free days this week to sew and read and catch up on chores around the house. It seems amazing that we are saying goodbye to March already.

Yes, those blocks are cute! I hope you come up with more fabric; sorry I can’t help.
Enjoy your spring break too!
I am at work, but believe I might have some of the fabric you need. I will check this evening and let you know.
That’s going to be such a cute quilt! Aren’t quilters just the most generous? My guess is that you’ll have some of that background fabric pretty soon! Enjoy your sewing time this week as we head into April, ready or not! Stay well!
Very cute blocks. I don’t have any of those fabrics – sorry. Have a good week!

I’m in LOVE with your fabric choices for these. I have done these blocks but in 1930s. This is so unique and will be beautiful.
I found some at: the stitching post.com but not sure if it’s the correct shade as the picture is bad. I have 20” you are welcome to have. It’s in a kit that is very easily changed out for something else I have. Let me know.
I can’t wait to see this quilt all together. Your blocks and fabrics are awesome. I’ve never bought from this website, but they appear to have the fabric you are looking for. https://theornamentgirl.com/market/product/moda-white-floral-snowberry-fabric-bty/
Good luck with your search.
Nicole- if you haven’t already found some of your needed fabric, please email me. Depending on how much you need, I have some.
