I've followed along with Moda Blockheads Series in the past, but this is the first time I've actually jumped in to make some. Since I have an abundance of autumn fabrics, I decided to start there. That should give me lots of options since I don't know where this series is headed.
Block 1 - lots of unstitching, I wanted to cut down on seams created with all those half square triangles, so I used my GoCube to make that parallelogram. It is a 'directional' die plus this block has the shape going in opposing directions. So I also had to cut twice to get it right. Then I always, always want to sew that triangle onto the wrong ends, when it goes on the sides of the shape. After all that, I DO like my block.

Confessions of a Fabric Addict
I wish you a great week. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Those are great blocks, Kat! I'm sorry they took some unsewing to get them the way you wanted. The center fabric is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteTwo very lovely blocks. (hum... you could tell us what numbers you used from your Cube to make that great first block.... 😉)
ReplyDeleteHi Kat! What a good idea that was to cut the parallelograms instead of using the HSTs.Oh, I am so challenged about deciding how they should be cut, though. I'm 100% that I would have had to cut them so many times I would have had to buy more fabric. What cool blocks!! You centers are so fun. Keep up the great work. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteVery fun blocks!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the unstitching but they do look good!
ReplyDeleteLove your colors for Blockheads 5. Your centers make the others just sparkle. Trying to decide the colorway for mine, I gaze at all the others on facebook.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your blocks, and like you this is my first time diving into the Blockheads blocks. I found the first one really difficult to make and the 6 inch was a challenge, it wasn't perfect but good enough!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your blocks look great in those gorgeous fall colors! I like the way you reduced the number of seams in the first blocks.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty little blocks! I adore your fabric. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
