• Blocks 5 & 6 = Friendship

    I’m sharing 2 blocks today.  2 blocks from two more of my Moda “sister” designers.  One of the fun things about being a Moda designer is the wonderful friendships we make with each other. So I think of these blocks as making a friendship quilt.  I hope each of you makes friends along the way and can share with each other.  The Moda Blockheads group is a good one to join, and you’re sure to make some friends along the way.

  • 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…
