Blockheads Block-of-the-Week
We're blown away by the response to our KT Starter Pack for the Blockheads BOW. Thanks to everyone who called or visited our website to prepare for the new series. Several callers had questions about our BOW. Over the next couple weeks, I'll try to answer your questions and make this the easiest BOW ever.What is it?
A 48-week long series of one 6" block a week.
Who are the designers?
Six of us at Moda who favor warm, cozy colors (the dark side) are collaborating to bring you 8 unique blocks each. Joining me are Betsy Chutchian, Jo Morton, Jan Patek, Lisa Bongean & Carrie Nelson. Sign up at each blog (click on the name) for automatic emails each time one of these ladies posts their block.
When does it start?
Wednesday, March 8, 2017. Free patterns for blocks will be posted every Wednesday for 48 weeks.
Where can I find the 6" block patterns?
Check here at the Kansas Troubles' blog on Wednesdays for the link to each designer's blog and their free pattern.
How do I get started?
Each of the 6 designers is offering an assortment of their fabrics as a starter pack. Our KT Starter Pack includes a total of (24) fat 16th's (9"x11" each) - 8 tans plus an assortment of (16) KT darks - for $18 plus postage. Find it on our website here.
Have questions? I'll answer you next Wednesday.

ReplyDeleteI personally like the warm and cozy look the best, I am always drawn to those quilts first. Can't wait to see what you girls come up with, maybe a dark side sew along is just what I need!
ReplyDeleteI love smaller blocks. I keep laughing when you talk about those of you who prefer " the dark side". Just sounds so ominous!
ReplyDeleteWith Splendid Sampler's finish this week, I thought withdrawal was nigh. The Blockheads save the day! Looking forward to the first block.

I'm so excited for this to start!! Really looking forward to it. There is something about 1 block a week that is so doable!
ReplyDeleteThis is like sitting on pins and needles.....waiting with great anticipation!!!!! Doing a block a week gives me time to work on something and not feel too overwhelmed by the process. Thank you for doing this!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for the Blockheads to start! Sewing area and machine cleaned, new needle and new blade in cutter. Six inch blocks are a challenge! Love the colors of your fabrics.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you and the other designers have in store for us (pun intended).
ReplyDeleteMy guild & I are excited for this one to start! Good pace - 1 block a week - and also appreciate that there is some continuity with a limited number of like-minded designers.
