Fig Tree Day on MODA’s BLOCKHEADS: Block #42

Welcome to Week #42 of the FREE MODA BLOCKHEADS 3 SEW ALONG… TODAY IS OUR TURN ONCE AGAIN!

Hello friends! Its a lovely Wednesday morning toward the end of October and you know what that means… its that time again. It’s BLOCKHEADS TIME. We really should have a song… don’t you think? What’s even better is that its MY DAY on the Blockheads adventure… and since I am the last one of each round this means we are 3/4 of the way done with the program!!

We have now completed 3 full rounds of the sew along and have just one more round to go. Can you guys believe that we have been doing this for 42 blocks already? I don’t believe it… time sure has been extra weird this year!

INTRODUCING THE STARBURST BLOCK

So today’s block is one of my favorites. I have made it before but have named this variation STARBURST and here is the PDF DOWNLOAD, CLICK HERE.

For me, this block is reminiscent of bear paws and maple leaves and whether combined in 4 different fabrics of the same color like on mine, or created with 4 different colors, this looks so different each time I have made it and I always love it!

Another thing I love about this block is how well it showcases the fabrics chosen even on the smaller block size.

I decided to do the 12″ block for our block to showcase a few favorite prints but it would be so cute in a 6″ as well! Due to the way the math breaks down for this block, it is only available as a 6″ or a 12″ on the official PDF. For those of your who are making 8″ blocks, keep scrolling for some fun ideas on how to make it an 8″ block.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL… keep on reading if you want to:

CATCHING UP ON THE PROGRAM

For those of you who are following our layout exactly, we didn’t add in last week’s lovely applique block, but instead made a few more of the 4″ filler blocks that we needed. We made 5 of the little 4″ hearts and 5 of the little mini houses.

… we got to use a great little stack of our favorite prints
