Wednesday Block Party

It has been a quiet week, and I’ve been working on blocks. Moda Blockheads 2 blocks mainly.

Minnesota Quilters Mystery Quilt

Before I started the MB2 blocks, I did get caught up on the next clue for our Minnesota Quilters’ Mystery Quilt. Here they are, looking pretty.

Nothing too exciting when all alone, but I cannot wait to see them combined with the other blocks.

Moda Blockheads 2 Progress

Okay, here’s the Moda Blockheads I’ve recently finished.

Wednesday Block Party - Moda Blockheads 2 applique block - piecefulthoughts.com

This block is 12.5″ unfinished. I’m not very good at applique, but I don’t mind doing a little now and then.

This block also 12.5″ unfininshed. That little star in the center is 3-1/2″ square. The star points started at 1-1/4″ squares. Needless to say, this block took a little while to make, but it is one of my favorites.

These are not two blocks; this is one complete block, measuring 6,5″ x 12.5″ unfinished. The next block I made is very similar.

Wednesday Block Party - This has to be one of my favorite 6" blocks from the Moda Blockheads 2 QAL - I love the bright Kim Diehl colors in this block - piecefulthoughts.com

Notice the similarity? Choosing the fabrics for this 6″ block was fun; it’s the perfect block to make the Kim Diehl/Jo Morton fabrics shine. The layout of the block looks easy, but I kept getting confused as I was putting it together. It made sense once I worked from the center square and followed the pattern photo.

This was a quick little 6″ block. It’s brighter than it appears in the photo.

That leaves me with 4-5 blocks I still need to do to get caught up, not including the block that will come out today. The remaining blocks are bigger, one at 18″ and another 24″. Soon I will need to lay out all of the blocks and see how they look. I’m not sure I have the floor space, so it will be interesting!

For the rest of this week, I’ll be at my brother and sister-in-law’s home to help with some sewing projects. I’m looking forward to spending time with them. I may not get a post done, but I’ll try to take some photos to share with you when I do!

Looking forward to hearing about what you are working on this week!
