Moda Blockheads Update

For Moda Blockheads 6, I'm not making one big quilt - I will be making a few different sewing projects. I posted block 1 - Regatta a few weeks ago, and above is block 2 - Crossroads designed by Lynn Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilters. These two and more are going in a photo wall-hanging for our stairwell. The second set of blocks are going around a fairy panel.

This panel is called Enchanted Fairy Panel. I used the colour panel on the selvedge to chose the colours for the blocks. 

I made my second block 1- Regatta by Vanessa Christenson, in a different way using some of these colours.

 

I don't think I will use this block as the light blue is too light, and I don't think it really goes with the panel - but we will see.

Block 2, Crossroads second block is better.

Putting the two blocks together one can see how block 1 really doesn't match.

So I made the other blocks darker to match the panel. I made another block 1 in an alternative design that I liked.

Block 3, Sunday Best designed by Ann Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs

Today I finished block 4, Cats Cradle by Kiley Ferons of Kiley’s Quilt Room. (Sorry I can't link as my firewall would not let me - Google it). A beautiful block and I will make another one in a different layout, but I had so much trouble with the rectangle blocks. Apparently there is a special ruler that would make it easier, so I'll have to try and find one. 

That's it for this week. I am going to try and finish one top next week and hopefully also quilt it.

Focus Cutting 2025

 

I really haven't been doing a lot of hand stitching this year, its not that I don't enjoy doing it anymore, its more that I am time poor doing other things like family tree, travelling and machine projects - all of which I love doing. As a result this year I am only going to make blocks that I have the fabric for. Being another year of alphabetical blocks, I can pre-cut some to take away while travelling.  

Above are blocks 9 and 11, taken on the beach at Inskip Point. 9 is E for elephant and 11 is F for flags.

This is 15 - yes I know a gap, I'll have to looks for the photos - H is for hearts.

Block 21 is K is for kittens knitting.

Between the Lines

Finished the last row of Between the Lines sew along. It was another paper pieced block, and I'm kind of enjoying the process.

I'm really happy with result. The top is finished and all I need to do now is turn it into a quilt.
