MODA BLOCKHEADS 5: GROUP 2 – WEEK 21

This week’s designer is Stephanie Sliwinski of Fancy That Design House & Co. and her block is called SQUARE BURST. Be sure to check out Stephanie’s WEBSITE to see all she has to offer, including her fabric designs as wallpaper! Seriously, so beautiful.

OUR BLOCK #21: SQUARE BURST (12″ Finished)

This block was the perfect opportunity to do a little fussy cutting for that center square… it was just a great spot to really feature a portion of that holiday medallion pattern that I love so much. If you’d like to learn a bit more on how I fussy cut, you can reference our Moda Blockheads 4 post HERE.

PIECING INSTRUCTIONS:

As always, we used the SEW & FLIP method for our flying geese units. If you’d like to follow along, eliminate cutting for [D], [E], [F], and [G]. Instead…

For a 6″ block, cut:

• (8) 1 1/2″ squares [D]
• (4) 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ rectangles [E]
• (8) 1 1/2″ squares [F]
• (4) 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ rectangles [G]

For a 12″ block, cut:

• (8) 2 1/2″ squares [D]
• (4) 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles [E]
• (8) 2 1/2″ squares [F]
• (4) 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles [G]

Using SEW & FLIP, create your (2) groupings of flying geese units. This will eliminate step 3 and 4 in the MODA pattern sheet.
