Moda Blockheads 4, will you join me?
I’m a proud member of Moda Blockheads 4, and I hope by now you are too! In case you haven’t heard about it, Moda’s blockheads are a collection of free quilt blocks that are released once a week on Wednesday. There are 26 designer blocks and 8 bonus blocks. Each block is offered in two different sizes, either 9″ or 4 1/2″. You can choose one size or do a combo of both, but the end result will be a beautiful sampler quilt in a setting of your choice. You can choose from different settings along the way, and you can pull fabric from your stash for a scrappy quilt or grab a few layer cakes or a fat eighth bundle for a more structured look.
I’m going to make the 9″ blocks, and I’m using my newest fabric line called The Flower Farm. Some of you have seen this line on Facebook or Instagram, but if you haven’t, here’s a photo. This line ships in September of this year. I’ll tell you more in another post,
Block one was released last Wednesday, and Block two will be released tomorrow. Sign-up to receive Moda’s weekly Blockheads blog post via e-mail: Moda Blog Newsletter Sign-Up.

I’ll be sharing my Blockhead 4 blocks as we go along, and I’d love to see yours! Many of you already post on Instagram or Facebook, but I know some don’t use these social media platforms. Please send us a quick photo of your block if you don’t. Sue and I would love to see them! I have Sue talked into becoming a Moda Blockhead, and I’ll share some of her blocks too. I have a simple layout designed that I’ll share with you. You are always welcome to use it too.
So tell me, are you a Blockhead already? I love a good sew-along! Join us for fun!
Hugs,
Anne

Oh my goodness! I love your block with the fussy cut snail in the center! Sew sweet!

Thank you, Cynthia! This snail fits perfectly in a 1″ finished block!

Wish I could make BH4 out of th The Flower Farm! [Lower lip sticking out.] Love those shades of reds and pinks together. But I’m sure I’ll find some other wonderful Bunny Hill in my stash. :-)
