Fixer Upper from Vanessa Goertzen for Moda Blockheads

Visit Vanessa's blog for the Fixer Upper block pattern
We are three weeks into September and fall has officially begun. I feel like this year has no regular markings of time and this month has been speeding by!!
Fixer Upper color studies from Robin Pickens
This was such an interesting block to play with. That first image reminds me of the lights around a big celebrity makeup mirror. And the next one emphasizes the center just by nature of the different color. Number three uses negative space to make the center feel like cut ends of a bow in the center. The center shape really gets called to attention in that one. 

In the middle row, the turquoise color starts to become more mixed into the outer border and the dark olive tones make diagonal shapes and transparencies. In the bottom row, the outer corners becoming the background color gives the shape a more rounded feel and more of grouped corner units. 

I'm not sure what I am sewing this week although I am rather drawn to #7.

This is a busy week. I just got my calendar tea towel uploaded for the spoonflower challenge that opens up for voting next week. And this week Friday the sewalong "Sewcialites" starts! And I just might be imagining some Halloween project in my mind...I'm thinking about my "Cardinal's Christmas Wreath" pattern but done in more fall colors with a black crow. Can't wait to get that mocked up.

Happy sewing!! Happy fall!

Thank you for your time and work into providing color stories of the Moda Blockheads blocks. Most of these variations are what I would never have the imagination to create, so the stories really help my quilts get out of being bland.
