I've got two quilts off to be quilted today, so I am feeling very happy about that. The one in the photo above is the smaller of my two Moda Blockheads 3 quilts. I was dithering about what to do about a border and finally decided to just keep it simple. I had 30 inches […]
Moda BlockHeads has been going on for three weeks at this point, and so far, I am feeling underwhelmed. I didn't love the first two block offerings and think I may sit back and see how this sew-along unfolds before I spend any more time making blocks. If future blocks are more challenging and innovative, […]
I haven't been so excited about a sewing project in some time! Well, that's a lie, I am excited about all the sewing projects, but this one is special. Can you believe it? I got TWO quilts out of Moda BlockHeads 3! In my opinion, that sew-along went way too long, an entire year, which […]
I have found my second setting for the Moda BlockHeads 3 quilt blocks. I've nearly got the 8-inch blocks assembled into another quilt top, which I will share with you in the next day or so. In this setting, I have combined the 12-inch blocks and most of the 6-inch blocks into the top you […]
I am still working on taking apart my setting for Moda BlockHeads 3. These are all the 8-inch blocks. I decided to make several quilts out of the 80-some odd blocks I made for that quilt-along. I really cannot believe I made over 80 blocks in four different sizes and thought I could put them […]
I've got my fabric all lined up for the BlockHeads 6 project, which will start later this month. It is Pumpkin Spice Gatherings by Primitive Gatherings. It combines the reproduction style I love, as well as the brighter colors I've been craving lately. There are loads of background prints, which I think add interest. The […]
Have you ever participated in one of the Moda BlockHeads Sew-Alongs? They are typically great fun. What is it? It is a sew-along hosted by Moda Fabrics that provides a free quilt block each week, which is created by one of Moda's talented fabric designers. Lisa Bonjean, Lissa Alexander, Joanna Figueroa, Lynn Hagmeier, and Brenda […]
Glory be, I have actually finished something. I had to stay inside out of the heat yesterday and used my time well. All 4th of July activities in our area were canceled except for our neighborhood golf cart parade. Even that was sparsely attended. As I write this it is 106°. I finished sewing all […]
I couldn't resist showing one more picture of Moda Blockheads 5. I just need to sew the rows together and this top will be nearly done. I wasn't feeling great yesterday so I didn't sew, but I hope to complete this task today. I also may have done a bit of fabric shopping lately. Aren't […]
I am so glad to wrap up this project! This is Moda Blockheads 5 a sew-along that will continue on through mid-November, but I have all the blocks I need to make my chosen layout, so it's a finish for me. If you like this layout, the Star Dance pattern is free from My Sew […]
