Moda Blockheads II - Week #7

Block #7 - Spin Cycle by Stacy Iest Hsu

We're seven weeks into Blockheads II and I'm having such fun playing with fabrics for these blocks. Stacy's cleverly named pinwheel block  can be colorized in a dozen ways. I chose KT classics for one option, plus my red/tan/blue color scheme again for the other block. What is your chosen color palette? Are you posting your blocks on the Blockheads II Facebook page? We love seeing what you're doing each week. 

Find the pattern for Stacy's block HERE.

Kansas Troubles red/tan/blue

KT classics in the new Nature's Glory fall palette (Sept.)

Be sure to watch for Jan Patek's unique applique block next Wednesday. See you then.

Moda Blockheads II - Week #6

Block #6 - Path Thru the Woods by Betsy Chutchian 

If you were around for Blockheads I, you know Betsy's blocks were always wonderful. I really like the blocks in various sizes this time, and this 12" beauty does not disappoint.

I have about a dozen deadlines to meet before I leave for the Maine Quilt Show in just over a week. So much to do, so little time. Gotta run, but stay tuned for some more fun scrap box giveaways.

Moda Blockheads II - Block #5

Happy 4th of July

I LOVE the 4th of July. My birthday is the 5th of July. When I was little, my Dad told me everyone in our little town was shooting off fireworks to celebrate my birthday. I totally believed him. And still do! Have a safe and happy Independence Day.

KT Winner

Congratulations Annette - you're the winner of a KT red/tan/navy pack of (8) fat 1/4's to add to your stash. I chuckled about your comment "which one of your kids do you love the most." At my age, my kids joke that the "favorite" will inherit the most quilts & antiques, so they're all vying for the title. So funny!
Annette MacConnell
A favorite? That's like saying which one of your kids do you love the most. Right now I'm most drawn to Zen Chic because I love Grunge, Lisa Bonjean because well because gray is awesome and then there is Laurie Simpson who is using scraps from a variety of Minnick and Simpson lines who I'm totally obsessed with. Tomorrow it might be KT or Me and My Sister or who knows because I'm basically a Moda girl. I guess I'll have to give the answer my kids always use when asked who is Momma's favorite and that is none - because she hates us all the same. ;)

 Please email lynne@ktquilts.com, including the above info along with your mailing address. Joy will assemble a sampling of fat quarters to add to your Blockheads options.

Blockheads II- Block #5 by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique

Vanessa's fabric collections evoke a clean, fresh feeling that are perfect for building your decorating palette. Her 24" block this week is simple, but stunning. It would make a wonderful larger quilt. Hmmm, better add that to my to-do list.

Here's my red/tan/navy version of Vanessa's Impact block.You could also do scrappy reds and navys for fun. 


For a classic KTQ option, add a little green and purple to the red and navy. The same multi-tan background works for both.
