Welcome to Week #38 of the MODA BLOCKHEADS SEW ALONG! This week we are back with Stacy Iest Hsu. Check out her fun graphic pattern, FRACTURED RAINBOW, link HERE and download the pattern directions for your project. This is our version of Stacy’s block…. we went for the 6″ version for this one… using a large variety of our scraps. Making the varegated rainbow didn’t really work in our traditional red and cream sampler so we simplified the design to use just two alternating colors. We used (6) red scraps for the main sections…
To those of you in the program… OUR THIRD FIGS & FRIENDS BUNDLE HAS JUST GONE OUT so be on the lookout! Here is a little backstory to this series in case you missed it… Earlier this year I went to a quilt show called ROAD TO CALIFORNIA and got to visit with my fellow MODA designer and friend, Lisa Bongean of Primitive Gatherings.

Welcome to Week #37 of the MODA BLOCKHEADS SEW ALONG! This week we are back around to the beautiful Vanessa Goertzen. Check out her fabulous pattern, FIXER UPPER, link HERE and download the pattern directions for your project.

I love how that came out! We surrounded it with a little tile print from Christmas Figs and then went all scrappy…

(I even have an entire section of my website just for my jelly roll patterns…you can find it HERE.) So in honor of National Sew a Jelly Roll Day, I wanted to share…
Welcome to Week #36 of the MODA BLOCKHEADS SEW ALONG! This week we are back around to the lovely Laurie of Minick & Simpson. Check out her classic pattern, link HERE and download the pattern directions for your project. This is our version of Laurie’s block…. we decided to use a more involved print in the outer setting triangles… I think it really make those center pinwheels stand out ever more! We chose to do ours as a 6″ block, to add to our growing stack of the 6″ that we will need for the setting…
