Moda Blockheads 4

I am really enjoying this round of Moda Blockheads and using up lots of small blue scraps to make the 4.5" block size. 


Block #12 is the beloved friendship star (pattern written by Deb Strain). Every sampler quilt needs one of these blocks. I worked hard on these two blocks to get the patterned fabric all going in the same direction.


Block #13 is the classic Ohio star block (pattern written by Debbie Maddy) using little 2" hourglass blocks. I am making larger Ohio star blocks this week for the "O say can you sew" mystery, and it was fun to make a block in half size.

Here are all my Moda Blockheads on the design wall. Such a variety of yummy blues! I think the top left block is too dark and might lighten that one up.

  3. Kudos on getting those directional fabrics pointing the same way. I know how hard that can be especially with hourglass units. Great job. Love seeing all the blocks together. It will be a beautiful quilt. Enjoy! ;^)

  4. Pretty blocks and I can't imagine how long it took to get the fabrics all lined up! I always struggle with that.

  5. I'm in love, love, love with your blue and white blocks. These are gorgeous!

    And it reminds me to pull out my set of blue/white blocks and get them into a finished quilt top before they become an actual UFO.

  14. Blue and white is a perfect color scheme. And all these lovely blocks finish at just 4.5 in.? Wow!

  15. Nice job on the blues. Unless you make another block as dark as the upper left corner block, you just might want to consider redoing it a bit lighter. Either that or put it front & center. Let it shine!
