Moda Blockheads 7 - Block 3

Block 3 is Game Day by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. This was an easy block, and quick to make. I'm still not sure what I will make as my first project for these blocks.

Block 4 is Kindred Rose designed by Jessica Rose of Quiltd Studios. I have cut out all the pieces and that will be my sewing this weekend. I missed four of the white/light strips but will cut them in the morning.

I'm Back!

26 days on a cruise ship - bliss. Had a wonderful holiday, picked up some fabric and did a bit of hand stitching, but now I'm back playing catch up. With Moda Blockheads 7 starting while we were away, that is the first project to start. With the first four blocks released, I started with block one. 

I had no idea what colours I would use, or what I would be making, but that will come. I chose purple as my colour, as I want to use purple for the next photo strip for the wall.

Blockheads 7 is themed 'Friends and Neighbors'. Block 1 (of 30) is Spring Walk by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique.

 

Block 2 is 'Twinkle' by Amarilys Henderson and it involved foundation paper piecing. I don't mind FPP now - but it was so frustrating when I first started using FPP, many years ago. 

New blocks come out each Wednesday.

That's it for this week. Check out what others are doing:-

Butterfly Quilt

This week I decided to finish the butterfly quilt, well put it together. I have been making the odd butterfly block the past few years as a leader ender project and thought I had enough to make a lap quilt. I thought about adding some blue blocks, but maybe that would be too close to the purple, so I just pieced the rows.

I added a long yellow and teal row in between each butterfly row.

I then added the same long strip to the top and the bottom to make it a size for a lap quilt.

This weekend I will layer and quilt it.
