A quick catch-up on some Moda Blockheads2 blocks. I have learned so much while doing these blocks! I tried triangle paper for the first time (and liked it!) and I stretched myself with smaller piecing on some of these than I normally do. With every sewalong I do I feel my skills become better. I start to think more efficiently when I look at instructions and question if I can make more of the blocks in a different way (like making Half Square Triangles in the 8-at-a-time method). This first one is Sherri McConnell's block "Vintage" and I used a bunch of scraps I had from earlier blocks from my Dear Mum collection. I am pretty pleased with how this one came out. I don't have that much experience doing Quarter Square Triangles so this was good practice! This was the alternative block designed by Corey Yoder called Rainbow Vine. Mine is not a rainbow but does have a variety of green leaves. I liked how quickly this fun block came together. Now I think I need to make sure the block above in my arrangement has a design that suggests a flower bloom! The next block is a larger 18" one and is designed by Betsy Chutchian. Feels good to get this one completed and I really like this pattern! I used #poppymaefabric and #blushingpeonies . After making a big 18” block like this I needed to do a small one next! And last one to share today is this block designed by Corey Yoder. Its called Dainty Blossom and is an alternate for the Block 48 which was originally designed in applique. This is so cheery! 12 inch block with a big blooming presence! I just may be seeing my blockheads blocks wrapping up here! Time for arranging and joining!

Robin, you aree a wonderful quilt-artist, definitely my favorite! At least 90%of my stash is from your collections. I am a very devoted follower, and Ii especially enjoy working with the thatched solids and am looking forward to getting as much of your Solanco as possible. Do you know the most reasonable (price) and comprehensive suppliers? I live in the US between Philadelphia and Baltimore. I'm 74 and have recently begun to quilt by machine. I'll try to be brief and say goodnight but send me a quick email if possible. Congratulations and most very best wishes. Fondly, Patricia Kendel
